Description:
Description: Twigs slightly to densely pubescent. Leaf blades elliptic to narrowly so (narrowly obovate), 1-4(-5.5) x 0.3-1(-1.7) cm, usually slightly to strongly recurved; base narrowly to broadly cuneate to rounded; apex acute to rounded; margin slightly to strongly revolute; midvein depressed, at least a few 2o veins per leaf slightly to strongly depressed. Pedicels sparsely to moderately pubescent.
Distribution: Endemic to Cuba (Prov. Oriente, chiefly in Sierra de Micara, Cristal, and Moa, and limonite plateau near Moa, but also few collections from Sierra de Nipe), in thickets, stream sides, and open pinelands of Pinus cubensis, at ca. 300-1100 m elev. Flowering probably March or April to late June or early July.
Type: Cuba. Oriente: Sierra de Moa, pine-barrens, 900 m, 24-27 Jul 1953, Bro. Alain 3418 (holotype, GH; isotype, US).
