Inhambanella henriquezii Dubard

Tree up to about 20 m high; branches soon quite glabrous, usually marked with leaf-scars; stipules early deciduous. Leaves varying from oblanceolate-oblong to broadly elliptic, coriaceous but rather thin, green or greyish-green, 5-17 cm long and 2.7-8 cm wide, with obtuse, rounded or bluntly acuminate, often emarginate and more or less deflexed apex, acute or somewhat attenuate and slightly decurrent at the base, margin reflexed, often more or less undulate; raised, semiglobose galls usually present; midrib prominent below; secondary nerves 6-9 on either side, rather distant, slender, tertiary nerves more or less perpendicular to the midrib and joining the secondary ones, forming a coarse reticulation; petioles 12-50 mm long. Flowers in few-to many-flowered fascicles; bracts ovate, usually strongly concave, 1-3 mm long; pedicels 5-20 mm but usually 10-15 mm long, brownish-tomentose. Sepals erect, more or less concave, 4-5 mm long, unequal to sub-biseriate; the outer 2-3 ovate-triangular from a broad base, 3-4 mm wide, subacute, brownish-tomentose outside and inside near the margin and towards the apex; inner ones thinner in texture and narrower, obtuse or rounded at the apex, tomentose outside, glabrous inside, finely ciliate along the margin. Corolla yellowish or white; tube cylindric-campanulate, about 3 mm long; lobes elliptic or elliptic-oblong, 4-4ú5 mm long, and 2-3 mm wide; lateral appendages shorter than or as long as the corolla-lobes, attached near the middle of the corolla-lobes or near the base, usually asymmetrical, ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate-falcate, 1-4 mm long. Alternipetalous staminodes often somewhat undulate, entire, acute or obtuse, glabrous, about 3 mm long. Stamens 4-6; filaments linear, 1-2.5 mm long, glabrous, anthers oblong, 1.5-2.5 mm long. Ovary ovoid-conical, about 1.5 mm long and 1.5-2 mm in diameter; style about 1.5 mm long and 0.5 mm thick; stigma capitate, indistinctly 5-lobed and sometimes also bilobed. Fruit ellipsoid, about 4 cm long and 2.5 cm in diameter. Seed oblong, somewhat compressed, about 3 cm long, 1.5 cm wide and 1.2 cm thick; testa crustaceous, shiny, scar oblong, about 28 mm long and 6 mm wide; cotyledons about 5 mm thick.

Lowland rainforest and forest on land with high ground water, or rather dry evergreen forest at elevations from sea level to 300 metres.

Can be grown by seedlings.
