A tall tree, glabrous tbrougliout except the infloresence. Branches 

 terete, lenticellate, brownish. Leaves alternate, oblong, 18 to 25 cm 

 long, 5 to 9 cm wide, coriaceous, shining, the apex rather broadly 

 acuminate, the base acute or rounded, about the same color on both 

 surfaces; nerves 8 to 10 on each side of the midrib, rather prominent, 

 curved-ascending, obscurely anastomosing, the reticulations beneath dense, 

 distinct; petioles 1 to 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary and terminal, 

 about as long as the leaves, many flowered, the rachis and branches 

 somewhat pubescent. Flowers white, 4 mm long, pedicellate, the pedicels 

 pubescent, 1 to 2 mm long, with three small bracteoles at the apex. 

 Calyx-tube cylindric, sulcate, pubescent, 1.5 to 2 mm long, the perianth- 

 lobes 6, subequal, pubescent, oblong-obovate, acute or obtuse, 2 mm long. 

 Fertile stamens 9 ; anthers all 2-celled, those of the two outer series 

 introrse, those of the inner series extrorse, the filaments short ; staminodes 

 acuminate, about 1 mm long. Style 1 mm long. Fruit ellipsoid or
