bark, when young slightly angular, and clothed with numerous
little viscous sessile glands. Leaves rigid, smooth, oblongly
elliptic, bluntish, but ending in a short point, not
mucronate, finely notched at the edges, between serrulate
and crenulate, attenuated towards the base, and petiolate,
smooth and glossy on the upper side; underneath paler,
with a strong midrib, feather-nerved, and reticulately veined:
decreasing in size upwards. Petioles about three lines long,
clothed more or less with small glands, furrowed on the up-
jer side. Raceme terminal, leafy, the leaves small, and a
ittle longer than the peduncles. Peduncles 2 to 3-flowered :
the upper ones only 1-flowered, thickened a little at the base
