Frutex v. arbor, ramulis robustis lignoais obtuse 4-gonis, ultimis pube (exsiccata) atra brevi dense vestitis. Folia 1-2-J-poU. longa, crasse coriacea, opposita, obovata, apice rotundata, in petiolum brevem crassum angustata, marginibus tenuiter recurvis, superne siccitate fuscis nitidis costa furfuracea nervisque rectis parallelis divaricatis depressis; subtus brunnea, tomento appresso vestita, inter nervos latiusculos aveolata. Stipulee interpetiolares, breves, latae, subacute, persistentes. Flores -poll, longi, in axillis oppositis solitarii, breviter pedicellati, pedicello 2-bracteolato, bracteolis coriaceis. Calycis tubus turbinatus; limbi lobi 5, inSequales, Kneari-spathulati, ovati, obtusi, rigidi, persistentes. Corolla infundibularis, fauce villosa; limbi-g-poll, diam. lobi 5, patentes, late oblongi, obtusi, contorti. Stamina 5, fauci corolla e inserta; filamentis filiformi-subulatis; anthera e dorso basi affixae, lineari-subulatae, acutae, connective dorso iiicrassato, inclusae. Discus tumidus. Ovarium 2-loculare; stylus filiformis, glaber, ramis 2 brevibus linearibus; ovula in loculis numerosa, placentis septo medio adnatis affixa. Capsula-poll, longa, ellipsoidea, crasse crustacea, vertice inter lobos calycinos conico truncate, 2-locularis, septicide 2-valvis, polyspenna. Semina parva, subcompressa, angulata, angulis viz in alam productis, umbilico ventrali, testa coriacea reticulata.

The specimens are neither copious nor very complete, but I think...
