Leaves thickly coriaceous, glabrous, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, 
acuminate, from a cordate, rarely rounded, more or less unequal 
base. Secondary nerves 6-10 pairs, curved, tertiary mostly reti- 
culate. Stamens 15, anthers on long filaments, the appendage 
proceeding from the back of connective. Ovary slightly pube- 
rulous, narrowed into short cylindric style; no stylopodium. 
Fruit glabrous, with numerous raised lines.  Hypocotyl two- 
thirds the length of embryo, lying on the outside between the 
lobes of the outer cotyledon.

tertiary parallel, visible on both sides of leaf. Flowers 1-4 in.

times a little longer than fruit. Both cotyledons bifid ; hypo- 
cotyl lying on the outside between the lobes of the outer and 
somewhat larger cotyledon. 
A variety with the leaves narrowed into petiole and the tertiary 
nerves rather prominent, at Kew and at the British Museum, of 
which the fruit is not known.
