-^ Alofty tree, perfectly glabrous tliroughoiit ; branchlets very stout. Leaves 4-8 by 

 l|-2 in., rarely acute, very coriaceous ; nerves 15-20 pairs, reticulation above obso- 

 lete; petiole 1-2. in. Bacemes equalling or exceeding the leaves, collected on a short 

 peduncle, rachis stout, branchlets 1-6 flowered, Flowere small, I in. diam. ; pedicel 



: longer than the petals. Sepals broadly orbicular-ovate. Petals twice as long, pearly- 

 "white (Maingay) ; the ridges raised at their ends. Stamens very short, inserted on 

 the disk. Bisk tumid, 4-lobed. Style lateral. (Drupe roundish, becoming very 

 aark-coloured, Jizc.?:).— Maingay in his MSS. describes the petals as 5, and stamens as 

 ^suauy 2, but I find the flower to be uniformly 4-merous and monandrous ; Jack 



^ however states that a small superfluous fifth petid is sometimes placed within the 

 rest. This is allied in flower and inflorescence to M. GriffithiL . ' '
