Characteristics

Tree, 25-30 m. Leaves elliptic or almost oblong or oblanceolate, 15-20 by 6-7.5 cm, cuneate or somewhat rounded at base, shortly caudate-acuminate at apex, cauda obtuse, chartaceo-coriaceous, entirely glabrous except for the midrib, not or scarcely shining, greenish or fuscous above when dry, subochraceous below; midrib moderate, prominent and rather long-adpressed-pilose below, narrowly impressed and glabrous above; nerves densely parallel and prominulous, the primaries hardly distinct from the remainder; petiole 11-14 cm by 2-2½ mm, striate, sparsely long-pilose or glabrescent. Inflorescence 10-15 cm, rather many-flowered, with numerous abbreviated branches, very shortly grey-subsericeous. Pedicels 8-12 mm, sericeous. Calyx 5-7 mm long and wide, sepals subobtuse. Disk-lobes 35-40, subulate, 3-4 mm, sparsely retrorse-setulose, epustulate. Style glabrous, surrounded at the base by 4-5 very small subglobose parastyles.
