cm longis, dense f ulvo-pilosis ; floribus in anthesis 1 ad 1.5 cm 

 diametro. 



A small tree about 8 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence. 

 Branches brown, smooth, slender, terete, the ultimate ones 2 to 

 3 mm in diameter. Leaves elliptic or elliptic-ovate, chartaceous,

 one; lateral nerves about 10 pairs, rather prominent; petioles 

 2 cm long. Racemes axillary, 6 to 9 cm long, rather densely 

 pubescent with pale fulvous hairs; bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, 

 acuminate, pubescent, 3.5 mm long, deciduous; pedicels about
