Trees sometimes multitrunked. Leaf blades (on flowering shoots) 5–15(–20) × 5–12+ cm, abaxial surfaces initially glabrate but for tufts of simple, forked, or fascicled hairs at some vein axils, or initially densely to sparsely stellatehairy, then sometimes glabrescent, with or without tufts of simple, forked, or fascicled hairs at some vein axils, adaxial surfaces usually glabrous or glabrate. Inflorescences: bracts 7–15 cm, notably reticulate-veined, notably hairy, glabrescent, or glabrate; peduncle diverging from near or beyond midlength of bract. Pedicels weakly clavate, 4–15+ mm, notably hairy, glabrescent, or glabrate. Flowers: sepals 4–6(–9+) mm; petals 5–9(–11) mm; staminodes 4–7(–10) mm. Fruits ellipsoid to globose, 5–10 mm diam. 2n = 82.
