Flowers monecious. Male: sepals 4, of equal length. Stamens 
4; filaments nearly twice as long as the sepals, free, inflexed in bud, 
swollen at the apex forming a globular insertion for the broadly 
oval introrse anther ; a central rudimentary pistillodium is present.

the apex of the cell. Fruit unknown.—A small tree. Leaves 
shortly petioled, alternate in two rows, simple, acuminate. Stipules

above the middle, 2443 in. long, 3-14 in. wide ; lateral nerves about 
10 on each side, spreading, connected a little within the margin ;
