22,t.v. A large tree 50-80 ft. high, containing a thick milk; head 
depressed-hemispherical, very broad ; branches spreading, bending 
sometimes upwards, sometimes downwards; branchlets leafy 
towards the apex, curved, ashy-grey, glabrous. Leaves rather 
scattered, slightly obliquely oblong or oblong-oblanceolate, rounded 
or very shortly and obtusely acuminate, slightly narrowed or rounded 
to an obtuse base, 5-7 in. long, 14-2} in. broad, entire, chartaceous,

above, prominent below, about 1 lin. broad at the base, gradually 
tapered to the apex ; lateral nerves 16-19 on each side, very slender, 
distinct above, slightly prominent below, spreading from the midrib 
at an angle of about 75°, looped, the loops forming a crenate line 
about 1 lin. from the margin ; tertiary nerves similar to the lateral 
ones but scarcely so prominent ; veins rather lax, distinct below ; 
petiole 3-1 in. long, stout, about 1} lin. thick, longitudinally sulcate 
when dry, glabrous, rather abruptly contracted into the midrib; 
stipules caducous, ovate-lanceolate, coriaceous, glabrous. Re- 
ceptacles fasciculate on the older wood, pedunculate, obovoid, about

diverging from it almost at right angles, }-} in. apart, looped, the

slightly less distinct than the lateral ones and parallel with them; 
ultimate venation very delicate and obscure ; petiole about 1}
