Berg (1857 –1859: 304; type image W 0047760), but differs by its petioles 0.5–1.5 mm, to 3–4% of the blade’s length ( versus petioles 2–4 mm, 7–12% of the blade’s length in E. repanda ), inflorescences without developed axis ( vs. axis 1–10 mm), with one to two flowers ( vs. up to eight flowers), pedicels 4–4.5 × 0.2–0.3 mm, 15–20 times longer than wide ( vs. 1–2 × 0.3–0.4 mm 3–5 times longer than wide), elliptic flower buds to 3 × 1.2 mm ( vs. globose, to 3 × 3 mm), triangular bracteoles to 0.6–0.8 × 0.5 mm ( vs. rounded, to 0.8–1 × 1 mm), ellipsoid fruits ( vs. globose) and seeds with two separate cotyledons ( vs. cotyledons fused). Description:—Shrub 0.6– 2 m. Twigs with erect simple light brown or yellowish trichomes 0.3–0.5 mm, these falling with age and then becoming grey or brown and longitudinally striate; base of the twigs frequently with persisting triangular cataphylls to 1 × 0.3–0.4 mm. Leaves with petioles 0.5–1.5 × 0.2–0.5 mm, pilose as the twigs, adaxially applanate; blades ovate or elliptic, 14–35 × 8–12 mm, 1.7–3 times longer than wide, when young covered with simple trichomes as the twigs on both sides, when adult with the trichomes absent or restricted to the midvein at the adaxial side and scattered along the surface at the abaxial side, discolorous when dry, dark green and occasionally shining adaxially, lighter and dull abaxially; base obtuse; apex acute or occasionally widely acuminate in 2–3 mm; glandular dots evident and sometimes raised on both sides, 30 to 40/mm², of several sizes, the larger ones about 0.05 mm in diameter, these more scattered than the smaller ones; midvein plane or finely sulcate adaxially ... |
