fructibus globosis, circiter 7 mm diametro, seminibus 4, concavo- 
convexis. 
A'small tree, about 5 m high, the younger parts, inflorescences, 
and leaves on the midrib and nerves beneath prominently ciliate 
with pale or subferruginous, rather stiff hairs. Branches terete, 
dark reddish-brown, glabrous, the branchlets slender, somewhat 
angled or sulcate. Leaves membranaceous to subchartaceous, 
olivaceous and shining when dry, oblong-oblanceolate, 10 to 17 
cm long, 3 to 5 cm wide, narrowed upward to the slenderly and 
sharply acuminate apex, and below to the cuneate base, the 
upper surface glabrous, smooth, or the midrib slightly pubescent, 
the lower surface somewhat paler, conspicuously ciliate on the 
midrib and nerves, and with fewer hairs on the reticulations; 
lateral nerves 9 to 12 on each side of the midrib, prominent, 
curved-ascending, anastomosing, the reticulations lax, distinct; 
petioles ciliate, 1 to 1.5 cm long; stipules lanceolate or ovate- 
lanceolate, acuminate, about 8 mm long, sparingly ciliate on 
the back. Infructescences terminal, short, ciliate, about 3 cm 
long, trichotomous, the peduncles 1.5 cm long or less. Fruits 
few, globose, dark-brown or black when dry, glabrous or with 
few scattered hairs, about 7 mm in diameter. Seeds 4, some- 
what triangular in outline, thick, concavo-convex.
