A large tree. Leaves 5-8 in. (12 or more in barren shoots) ; nerves 5-12 pairs, 
slender but prominent beneata, as are the nervules and reticulations ; above smooth, 
shining, and hard; beneath pale, minutely papillose, pubescent when young, ulti- 
mately glabrous but subscabrid ; petiole 13-1} in. ; stipules ovate-lanceolate, 3—3 in., 
pubescent. Flowers intermixed with many ovate-lanceolate bracteoles. Male fl. 
rather numerous, scattered, pedicelled, 1-2-androus ; sepals 3, spathulate ; stamens 1 or 
2, anther small, ovate, filament short thin. Gall and fem. fl. ; perianth deeply divided 
above into 3 or 4 broadly lanceolate segments; style elongate, stigma deeply bifid; 
achene obovoid.— The bracteoles are often with difficulty distinguished from the 
Perianth. I follow Miquel in adopting Willdenow’s name callosa for his scleroptera 
and Thwaites’ einerascens, though I rather doubt Willdenow’s description really 
referring to this plant.
