Large erect tree, 15 m. high; branches spreading, forming 
a dome shaped crown; the ultimate ones slender, not nu- 
merous, horizontally speading, short brown pubescent at the ends. 
Leaves usually toward the ends of the twigs, few, scatter- 
ed, unequal in size and shape, submembranous, flat, lucid 
green above, much duller beneath, quite rigid, usually gla- 
brous above except the yellowish tomentum along the mid- 
nerve and lateral nerves, the medium sized blades 8 dm. 
long, 1.5 dm. wide across the middle, margins subentire or 
irregularly undulate and involute, apex rounded and termin- 
ated by a short acute point or acumen, base rounded or 
frequently emarginate, the smaller ones orbicular, the normal 
one broadly oblong or subrotund; petiole about 2 cm. long, 
when young with a dense rusty brown pubescence; nerves 
very prominent beneath, brown when dry, 9 to 13 pairs 
subdivaricate, their tips submarginally interaching, covered 
with a soft sparse pubescence; cross bars one half as promi- 
nent, retieulations quite conspicuous beneath, similarly pu- 
bescent. Inflorescence in the leaf axils or in the axils of leaf _ 
Scars, upon stout very thick densely pubescent peduncles; _ 
the pistillate usually in the upper axils, solid, ellipsoid or - 
Oobovoid, green, 15 mm. long, 12 mm. in diameter above — 
the middle; perianth tubular, narrowed toward the base,

egg shaped or ellipsoid, the average ones 9.5 mm. in dia- 
meter, early falling; perianth segments 3, falsely united, 0.75 . 
mm. long, subglabrous or ciliate along the upper margins, 
the tips closely. overarching the stamens; filament very broad | 
. at the base, 0.8 mm. long; anther basifixed, 0.2 mm. long, |
