A rambling, stout shrub; branchlets thick. Leaves 5 by 14 in., coriaceous; 
nerves 8-20 pair; petiole 4 in. or longer. Cymes hardly half so long as the leaves, 
rusty-tomentose, terminal hardly larger than the axillary. Flowers yellowish-white, 
as of E, paniculata, but larger.— This is distinguished from the four preceding by its 
thick branchlets, larger flowers and fruits, the nerves appear very variable in number, 
but always more numerous than in E. paniculata. 
** Cymes axillary short, terminal (if any) scarcely larger than the axillary.
