 mm long; style about 1 cm long; ovary 2-celled. 



A tree 10 m high, with a trunk 20 cm in diameter, the bark of the 

 branch lets varying from greenish at the apex to gray at the base, striate 

 and at the apex somewhat flattened ; leaves with petioles 5-8 mm long, the 

 lamina chartaceous but i igid. lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, 13-19 cm 

 long, 4-5.3 cm wide, the base aeiiminately acute and decurrent on the 

 petiole; three submarginal veins more or less easily traced from base to 

 apex, the two outer arising from the extreme base of the leaf, and more 

 easily seen on i\w upper surface owing to the slightly recurved margins, 

 the inner arising from the midrib about 1 cm above the base and very 

 conspicuous throughout, additional primary lateral veins on each side of 

 the midrib 9-12, prominent, many of the secondary veins also prominent 

 hut less so than the primary.
