leaves on the lower surface more or less ferruginous-pubescent. 

 Branches grayish to reddish-brown, terete, glabrous, the growing 

 branchlets densely ferruginous-pubescent with short appressed 

 hairs. Leaves coriaceous, lanceolate, brownish-olivaceous when 

 dry, shining, 7 to 13 cm long, 2 to 4.5 cm wide, narrowed to 

 the slenderly acuminate apex and below to the cuneate base, the 

 upper surface glabrous, the lower somewhat paler and appressed- 

 pubescent with short hairs; lateral nerves 5 to 7 on each side 

 of the midrib, distinct, the reticulations very obscure or often 

 obsolete; petioles 3 mm long or less; stipules lanceolate, acum- 

 inate, about 8 mm long, connate below, deciduous. Male flowers 

 axillary, sessile, fascicled, ferruginous-pubescent, usually 3 or 

 4 in a fascicle, the bracts linear-lanceolate, acuminate, 2.5 to 4 

 mm long. Calyx-tube 3 to 4 mm long, the lobes 5, rarely 6, 

 lanceolate, acuminate, 3 to 4 mm long, somewhat spreading. 

 Corolla-tube about 1 cm long, the lobes oblong, 4 mm in length. 

 Fruits axillary, usually solitary, depressed-globose or globose, 

 6 to 9 mm in diameter, densely pubescent with shining, short, 

 brownish hairs, the pedicels about 2 mm long.

This species somewhat resembles Timonius longistipulu^ Merr., 

 but its true alliance seems to be with T. valetonii Elm., from 

 which it is distinguished by its entirely differently shaped leaves.
