Characteristics
Small tree or shrub. Leaves lanceolate to oblong-or subovate-lanceolate, firmly membranous to subcoriaceous, sometimes sparingly pubescent beneath, (5-)8-14 by 2-4 cm, nerves (3-)4-5(-6) ± spreading and generally obscurely looping pairs. Inflorescence mostly with less numerous flowers than and not as manifestly scorpioid as in var. quadrifida, with which it shares the characters of flowers and fruits.
