Pedicels pubescent, stout, about 1 mm long, the bracteoles 

 oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, pubescent, about 1.2 mm long. 

 Calyx cup-shaped, pubescent, 1.5 mm in diameter, truncate, or 

 with three or four very broad, very obscure lobes, or these not 

 at all evident, the margins minutely denticulate. Ovary ovoid, 

 glabrous, including the rather prominent, terminal stigmas about 

 2 mm long. Fruit ovoid-ellipsoid, 6 mm long, narrowed at both 

 ends, acute, equilateral, glabrous, wrinkled, not compressed but 

 obscurely keeled.

This species somewhat resembles specimens of Antidesma moritzii Muell.- 

 Arg., but is not closely allied to it. It is well characterized by its 

 truncate, minutely denticulate calyces, which are not at all or but very 

 obscurely and shallowly 3- or 4-lobed; the few elongated branches of its 

 terminal inflorescence; and its very prominently nerved leaves.

A tree 7 to 8 m high. Branches grayish, terete, glabrous, the 

 branchlets rather densely villous with brownish-gray hairs. 

 Leaves oblong to broadly oblong-oblanceolate, 11 to 20 cm long, 

 3 to 7 cm wide, brown and shining on both surfaces when dry, 

 prominently and rather slenderly acuminate, the acumen api- 

 culate, base somewhat narrowed, somewhat inequilateral, round-

 pubescent on the midrib and lateral nerves ; nerves about 12 on 

 each side of the midrib, impressed on the upper surface, very 

 prominent on the lower surface, ascending, anastomosing; peti- 

 oles densely pubescent, 2 to 4 mm long ; stipules narrowly lanceo- 

 late, acuminate, pubescent, about 1 cm long. Pistillate racemes
