Characteristics

Tree up to 10(-30?) m tall, hemi-epiphytic. Branches drying pale to dark brown. Leafy twigs 1-2 mm thick, slightly angular to subterete, glabrous. Leaves spirally arranged; lamina oblong to lanceolate, 4-10 by 1-4 cm, (sub)coriaceous, apex (short-) acuminate, the acumen sharp, base cuneate to obtuse; both surfaces glabrous; cystoliths only beneath (or on both sides); lateral veins 8-13 pairs, the basal pair up to 1/10-1/6 the length of the lamina, unbranched, tertiary venation reticulate to partly parallel to the lateral veins; waxy gland at the base of the midrib; petiole 1-3.5(-5) cm long, glabrous, epidermis persistent; stipules 0.2-0.5 cm long, white puberulous or glabrous, caducous. Figs axillary and just below the leaves to ramiflorous on minute spurs, in pairs or solitary; peduncle 0.1-0.3(-0.5) cm long; basal bracts 3, 0.5-1.5 mm long, ciliolate, caducous; receptacle subglobose, 0.4-0.6 cm diam. when dry, 0.6-0.8 cm diam. when fresh, (sub)glabrous, turning from white to pink to purple to black at maturity, apex convex, ostiole c. 1.5 mm diam., slightly prominent to flat, the upper ostiolar bracts ciliolate; internal hairs absent or very sparse.
