circiter 10, valde perspicuis, inflorescentiis ¢ circiter 4 cm longis, 
pedunculatis, dichotome ramosis, ramis 2, paucifloris; floribus 
sessilibus, calycis cylindraceis, 10 ad 12 mm longis, 2- vel 3- 
lobatis ; fructibus pedunculatis, solitariis, ellipsoideis, circiter 1.5 
em diametro, ferrugineo-pubescens, calycis tubo persistentibus, 
cylindraceis. 
A dioecious tree, 10 to 15 m high, the younger parts and 
inflorescences distinctly ferruginous-pubescent with short, ap- 
pressed hairs. Branches terete, glabrous, the ultimate branch- 
lets somewhat angled, pubescent. Leaves opposite, exceedingly 
variable in size, coriaceous, oblong to ovate-elliptic or obovate- 
elliptic, shortly acuminate, base acute, the upper surface glabrous, 
the lower sparingly pubescent; 12 to 28 cm long, 5 to 14 cm wide; 
lateral nerves very prominent, about 10 on each side of the 
midrib, the primary reticulations lax, distinct; petioles when 
young pubescent, in age nearly glabrous, 5 to 10 mm long; stipules 
oblong-ovate, shortly acuminate, pubescent, about 12 mm long. 
Staminate inflorescences axillary, ferruginous-pubescent, about 
4 cm long, peduncled, dichotomously once-branched, few-flowered. 
Flowers ferruginous-pubescent, sessile. Calyx cylindric, 10 to 
12 mm long, irregularly 3-toothed or 3-lobed, the teeth broad, 2 
to3mm long. Corolla-tube about 6 mm long, the lobes 5, oblong, 
5 mm in length. Fruits apparently solitary, the peduncles 2 to 
2.5 cm long, the fruits ellipsoid, appressed-pubescent with short, 
shining, ferruginous hairs, smooth, about 1.5 cm in diameter, 
crowned by the elongated, persistent, cylindric calyx-tube which 
is about 8 mm in length.

This species is characterized by its exceedingly variable leaves; 
its elongated staminate flowers; and its ellipsoid fruits which are 
crowned by the cylindric, persistent, elongated calyx-tube.
