apiculatis. 



A tree about 20 m high, glabrous throughout;, except the cups (in-

 less curved near the margins, not anastomosing, the reticulations fine, 

 indistinct; petioles 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowers unknown. Cup including 

 the stout stipe 1.5 cm high, inclosing only about the lower one-fourth 

 of the glans, 2 cm in diameter, glabrous and shining inside, outside
