Arbor; floribus plerumque in roliorum delapsorum axillis fasciculatis, 
subhexanieris, sepalis distichis, extcrioribus valvatis, interioribus in 
alabastro valde sul) anthesi lente imbricatis, staminibus 24 vel pluribus; 
ovario 6-10-loculari, glabro; fructu 2— 4-loculari ; foliis magnis, obovatis 
vel oblanceolatis, pagina inforiori crebrissimc minutissinieque Icpidotis, 
junioribus tomentosis. 
Flowers in fascicles of 2-4, mostly in the axils of fallen leaves, but 
sometimes truly axillary; pedicels 1.5-2.3 cm long, 1.2-2.5 mm thick, 
ferrnginous-tomontose and sometimes grayi?h-toraentose: sepals 6, about 
4-5.5 mm long, 4-5 mm wide, broadly ovate to orbicular, persistent in 
fruit, arranged in two rows, those of the outer row coriaceous, vah'ate, 
on their outer surface pnbcscent like the pedicels, acuminate at the apex, 
those of the inner row usually slightly wider than the outer, in bud 
strongly, at anthesis very slightly imbricate, glabrous, rounded at the 
apex, meml)ranaceous on tlie margins; corolla oblanceolate in outline, 
1.7-1.8 cm long, divided to within 2.5-3.5 mm of the base into G or 
very rarely 7 lobes, these lobes imbricate, oblanceolate, 4 nnn wide, 
rounded, or obscurely 2-clcft at the apex, glabrous or when young very 
shortly tomentose without; stamens 24-33, inserted on tlie corolla at 
aljout the level of the base of the lobes, and adnate to its tube below, 
filaments 6-8 mm long, anthers 5 mm long, lanceolate, cordate at the 
base, the connective produced to a point at the apex; ovary at anthesis 
1.5 mm long, 2 mm wide, (!-10-celled, each cell with 1 ovule; style 2-3 
cm long, subulate, blunt at the apex: fruit glabrous, spherical or ovoid, 
baccate, tipped by the persistent I)ase of the style, attaining a length of 
2.2 cm and a diameter of 1.9 cm, 2— 4-celled, each cell containing 1 
seen, traces of additional aborted cells often very distinct.
