Evergreen or deciduous monoecious tree, 3–45 m. tall, with sharp buttresses and pale smooth bark, scaling in small discs.. Young twigs tawny pubescent.. Leaf-blades chartaceous to thinly coriaceous, elliptic or more usually obovate to obovate-oblong, 6.5–15 cm. long, 4.5–6 cm. wide, long-acuminate, ± cuneate and unequal-sided at the base, obscurely to distinctly and coarsely toothed in the upper half, glabrescent except for a few hairs on the veins beneath, 3-nerved from the base, with the basal lateral nerves extending little into the upper half and the upper prominent lateral nerves 3–6 on each side of the midrib; petiole 3–7 mm. long.. Stipules lanceolate, 4–7 mm. long, pubescent.. Cymes short, 5–15 mm. long in flower, up to 30 mm. in fruit, mostly with many clustered ♂ flowers and usually only 1 longer pedicelled ♀ or hermaphroditeflower at the top, but the uppermost cymules with several hermaphrodite flowers.. Sepals 5, 1–2 mm. long, pubescent.. Ovary subglabrous, often with a few hairs in a ring at the base; styles 1–2-branched, 4–5 mm. long.. Fruits on 8–13(–20) mm. long pedicels, ovoid-ellipsoid, conspicuously 4-ribbed when dried, 7–10 mm. long, 5–7 mm. across, red, glabrous.
Leaves (7.5)9–15 x 4–5(8) cm., elliptic to elliptic-obovate; apex long acuminate, ± mucronate; base cuneate, slightly asymmetrical; margin obscurely crenate to coarsely dentate in the upper half; lamina chartaceous to thinly coriaceous, venation as in C. gomphophylla but upper lateral nerves beneath less strongly prominent than the midrib, making an angle of more than 45 degrees with the midrib; very young leaves sparsely tawny-pubescent, soon glabrous; petiole 3–10 mm. long; stipules 4–5 mm. long, lanceolate, tawny-pubescent.
Evergreen to deciduous tree, 3-40 m high, buttressed, branches often drooping, bark pale, smooth or scaling in discs; young twigs tawny-pubescent. Leaves elliptic to elliptic-obovate, acuminate, ± mucronate, base cuneate, obscurely crenate to coarsely dentate in upper half. Inflorescence: male flowers in many cymes, often crowded; female and bisexual flowers 1-few at apex. Tepals pubescent. Fruits red ovoid-ellipsoid; pedicels 3-13 mm long.
Cymes 4–15 mm. long, of many, rarely few, often crowded male flowers with pedicels up to 2 mm. long, female and bisexual flowers 1 or few at the apex of the cyme; uppermost cymules of the inflorescence with several bisexual flowers.
