Arbor parva, circiter 3 m alta, inflorescentiis exceptis glabra ; 

 foliis ellipticis vel ovato-ellipticis, chartaceis, usque ad 15 cm 

 longis, basi rotundatis, apice breviter acuminatis, margine leviter 

 subundulatis, nervis utrinque circiter 6, distinctis ; inflorescentiis 

 terminalibus, subsessilibus, densis, multifloris, circiter 10 cm 

 diametro, bracteolis aciculatis; floribus circiter 2.5 cm longis. 



A small tree or a shrub about 3 m high, glabrous except the 

 inflorescence. Branches terete or obscurely angled, the younger 

 ones olivaceous, lenticellate. Leaves elliptic to elliptic-ovate, 

 chartaceous or submembranaceous, olivaceous when dry, the 

 upper surface shining, the lower one of about the same color, 

 dull, 12 to 15 cm long, 7 to 11 cm wide, the base rather broadly 

 rounded, sometimes very obscurely cordate, the apex shortly 

 and stoutly acuminate, the margins obscurely subundulate, the 

 incipient teeth 1 to 1.5 cm apart; lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each 

 side of the midrib, prominent, curved, anastomosing, the retic- 

 ulations lax; petioles 3 to 3.5 cm long. Inflorescence terminal, 

 dense, many-flowered, subsessile or at least branched from the 

 base, cymose, sparingly pubescent with short, scattered hairs, 

 the bracteoles acicular, pubescent, 1 to 2.3 mm long, the inflor- 

 escence about 10 cm in diameter. Flowers numerous, white 

 or nearly so. Calyx narrowly funnel-shaped or somewhat cup- 

 shaped, about 6 mm long, the apex truncate, obscurely 5-toothed, 

 3.5 mm in diameter, narrowed below to the acute base, externally 

 sparingly pubescent with very short hairs. Corolla-tube slender, 

 cylindric, glabrous, about 18 mm long, the limb spreading, about 

 12 mm in diameter, the lobes ovate or broadly oblong-ovate, 

 rounded. Ovary glabrous.
