Description:
Description: Shrub to small tree to 3 m tall; twigs very sparsely to moderately pubescent, with nonchambered to clearly chambered pith; buds to ca.1.3 mm long, leaves revolute. Leaves coriaceous, ovate to elliptic (oblong), 2-6 x 0.6-2.1 cm, base cuneate to rounded, apex acuminate, to acute with small mucro, margin entire, very slightly revolute (± plane), adaxial surface glabrous, but sparsely pubescent on basal portion of midvein, abaxial surface glabrous, but sparsely pubescent along midvein, usually with few inconspicuous glandular dots along midvein; petiole 4-10 mm long. Inflorescences axillary racemes to 1-2.5(-4) cm long; rachis moderately to densely pubescent; pedicels 3-8 mm long, sparsely to densely pubescent; bracteoles 2, alternate to ± opposite, nearly basal, triangular to narrowly so, to ca. 1 mm long; floral bracts to ca. 1.5 mm long. Flowers with triangular calyx lobes, with acuminate apices, 1-2 x 0.6-1.2 mm, abaxial surface glabrous to moderately pubescent; corolla cylindrical, white, 6.5-10 x 2-4.5 mm, glabrous; filaments 4.5-5.2 mm long; anthers 1-1.6 mm long; ovary glabrous to sparsely pubescent, especially near apex and base. Capsules short-ovoid to subglobose, (3-)4-6 x (5-)5.5-8 mm, very thick walled, placentae subapical; seeds 1.5-2.8 mm long.
Distribution: Endemic to SE Brazil (Guanabara, chiefly limited to Pico da Tijuca region), in low forest and scrub, sunny open areas, at ca. 700-1020 m alt. Flowering September through November.
Type: Brazil. Guanabara: Rio de Janeiro, Pico da Tijuca, 1000 m, Nov 1897, Ule 4576 (holotype, B, destroyed; lectotype, designated by Judd (1984), HBG; isolectotype, R, n.v.).
