Description:
Description: Shrub to 4 m tall; twigs glabrous to sparsely pubescent, with clearly chambered pith; buds to ca. 0.8 mm long, leaves revolute. Leaves coriaceous, slightly and narrowly ovate to narrowly oblong, (1-)1.6-5.6 x 0.3-1(-1.7) cm, base cuneate to truncate, apex acute- to rounded-mucronate, margin entire, plane to very slightly revolute, especially near base, adaxial surface sparsely to very sparsely pubescent on basal portion of midvein, abaxial surface glabrous (with few very inconspicuous glandular dots along midvein); petiole 2-6 mm long. Inflorescences (fascicle-like) axillary racemes to 0.5-1.5(-2.5) cm long; rachis sparsely to densely pubescent; pedicels 4-10 mm long, very sparsely to moderately pubescent; bracteoles 2, alternate to subopposite, from nearly basal to near midpoint of pedicel, narrowly triangular to linear, to ca. 1.6 mm long; floral bracts to 1.2 mm long. Flowers with triangular calyx lobes, with acuminate (to acute) apices, 1.4-2.6 x 0.8-1.4 mm, abaxial surface glabrous to sparsely pubescent; corolla cylindrical, white, 6.5-11 x 2.5-4.5 mm, glabrous; filaments 5-5.5 mm long; anthers ca. 1.2 mm long; ovary glabrous to very slightly pubescent near apex. Capsules short-ovoid to subglobose, 3-5 x 4.5-7.5 mm, placentae ± central; seeds 1-1.5 mm long.
Distribution: Endemic to SE Brazil (Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul), in scrub and forests along streams and rivers, at 900-1300 m alt. Flowering November through December (January).
Illustration: Judd (195), fig. 8.
Type: Brazil. Minas Gerais: Biribiry, Mocotó, nr. Diamantina, 28 Mar 1892, Glaziou 19572 (holotype, B, destroyed; isotype, designated by Judd (1984) as lectotype, K; isolectotype, P).
