A small tree or a shrub about 3 m high, glabrous except the

ones olivaceous, lenticellate. Leaves elliptic to elliptic-ovate, 
chartaceous or submembranaceous, olivaceous when dry, the 
upper surface shining, the lower one of about the same color, 
dull, 12 to 15 cm long, 7 to 11 cm wide, the base rather broadly 
rounded, sometimes very obscurely cordate, the apex shortly 
and stoutly acuminate, the margins obscurely subundulate, the 
incipient teeth 1 to 1.5 cm apart; lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each 
side of the midrib, prominent, curved, anastomosing, the retic- 
ulations lax; petioles 3 to 3,5 cm long. Inflorescence terminal, 
dense, many-flowered, subsessile or at least branched from the 
base, cymose, sparingly pubescent with short, scattered hairs, 
the bracteoles acicular, pubescent, 1 to 2.3 mm long, the inflor-

or nearly so. Calyx narrowly funnel-shaped or somewhat cup-
