A tolerably large tree, in foliage more like P. rhamnoides than any of the following 

 species, having many nearly straight nerves. The only specimens (Griffith, 2078, 

 1044 of Posth. Papers, ii. 67) are in old leaf and fruit, which latter Griffith describes 

 as of the size of a cherry; it is constantly 4-celled ; the endocarp thick and coriaceous , 

 the cells narrow 1 -seeded, the pulp granular, and is 4-angled when dry and has. a. 

 narrow depressed umbo with a conical centre,
