Small tree 5–8 m. high; bark grey, longitudinally fissured; branchlets pubescent or glabrous with purplish brown or purplish black bark peeling off in strips to reveal a light brown newly exposed surface.. Leaves spirally arranged, sessile or subsessile; lamina broadly obovate to obovate-elliptic, 9–16 cm. long, 5–7 cm. wide, apex obtuse to rounded, sometimes shortly cuspidate, base cuneate to slightly amplexicaul, glabrous or sparsely pubescent or sparsely appressed pilose especially on the midrib; lateral nerves 10–12 pairs.. Inflorescences of axillary spikes 7–11 cm. long, often in the axils of fallen leaves; peduncles glabrous or pubescent.. Flowers white;lower receptacle glabrous or sparsely to densely sericeous; upper receptacle glabrous or sparsely pilose at the base.. Fruit (fig. 12/9, p. 79) reddish brown, elliptic to elliptic-oblong, 4–5.5 cm. long, 2.3–3 cm. wide, apex obtuse to rounded and emarginate, base cuneate; apical peg absent; stipe 5–7 mm. long.
Leaves spirally arranged, sessile or subsessile; lamina 9–15 x 5–7 cm., coriaceous, glaucous beneath, broadly obovate to obovate-elliptic, apex obtuse to rounded and sometimes shortly cuspidate, base narrowly cuneate and often when the leaf is quite sessile truncate at the point of insertion, glabrous or rather sparsely pubescent or sparsely appressed-pilose especially on the midrib; lateral nerves 10–20 pairs; petiole 0–2(4) mm. long.
