This species has never yet been described by authors. It is a bush with
round branches, triangular at their extremities, and covered with a
brownish bark. The leaves are opposite, supported by short and hairy
petioles; their limb is oval, reticulate, covered with stiff hairs, and
traversed on its lower surface by five thick almost parallel nerves
running from the base to the summit of the leaf. The flowers are sessile
supported by terminal axes. We employ the leaves.
