Tree up to 26 m tall. Leafy twigs 3-5 mm thick, sparsely (to densely) white (to yellowish) appressed-puberulous or glabrous; internodes solid; periderm flaking off; older twigs with ± prominent scars of leaves and figs. Leaves spirally arranged; lamina oblong to subobovate to (ob)lanceolate, (2-)7-18(-21) by (1-)2.5-9 cm, (almost) symmetric, (sub)coriaceous, apex shortly acuminate to subacute (to obtuse), base cuneate to obtuse, margin entire, often ± revolute; upper surface glabrous, smooth, lower surface sparsely white appressed-puberulous on the main veins (and the margin); cystoliths only beneath; lateral veins (4-)10-14 pairs, the basal pair not or hardly distinct, tertiary venation scalariform; waxy glands in the axils of the basal lateral veins, conspicuous (rarely inconspicuous or absent); petiole 0.5-2(-4.5) cm long, appressed-puberulous, the epidermis flaking off; stipules 1-2 cm long, (sub)glabrous or partly yellowish appressed-puberulous, caducous.
