Leaves of mature trees with blades narrowly elliptic to elliptic-lanceolate, acutely acuminate, 6–19 cm. long, 2.3–7.6 cm. broad, coriaceous, nearly or quite glabrous on both surfaces except for well-spaced adpressed scales (appearing often as small pits under a hand lens).. Panicles mostly terminal to the final branches, relatively large and fairly loose with very numerous small white flowers.. Drupe narrowly ellipsoid to ellipsoid.. Fig. 3 (p. 11).
