Tree, 30 ft., trunk short. Branches nearly terete, very stout, and as well as the 
leaves beneath petioles and spikes densely or laxly tomentose or woolly, rarely glabrate. 
Leaves 6-12 by 21-44 in, elliptic-lanceolate, acuminate, entire or crenate, glabrous 
above, beneath with silvery-white or buff or brown tomentum most variable in thick- 
ness, rarely green and glabrate; petiole 1-1} in. Spikes 4-6 in., $ in. diam. (without 
the stamens) ; bracts } in. broad, subreniform, hoary or tomentose, imbricating and 
covering the buds when very young, early caducous. Calyx } in., hoary, sessile or 
pedicelled. Corolla white or pinkish, hoary without. Stamens i-i in., filaments 
diverging, at length deflexed, stout, yellow ; anthers minute. —This seems to me as 
distinct a genus as any in the Order; the stamens are very characteristic, spreading 
asin Satureineg, with the anther-cells parallel, not divergent, and the filaments 
involute in bud.
