A tree. Triml: straight. Young branches terete-compressed, polished. Leaves 

 Upwards of 4j by 2i in., thickly coriaceous ; lateral nerves rather close, spreading 

 transversely ; petiole" about I in. Calyx \ in.— In AVallich's specimens (3600) the 

 petals appear to be calyptrate. Although resembling the clove-tree it possesses no 

 kind of fragrance ; the largo pear-shaped berries are not eatable (Eoxburgh).

truncate. Petals usually calyptrate. Berries smallj globose pyriform or oWong, 

 1-2-seeded (to p. 500), 



Cymes terininal and caillary^ rarely from leafless axils (to p. 496).
