Finally tall ; bark often largely smooth ; leaves firm, from 

 narrow- to elongate-lanceolar, unilaterally somewhat 

 curved, shining ; secondary venules moderately spreading ; 

 - - umbels mostly solitary, their stalks somewhat compressed ; 

 tube of the calyx about twice as long as the hemispheric 

 lid ; anthers cordate-renate ; fruit semiovate ; border
