 obtuse, and the fruit narrower and more pointed. flowers sweet. Fruit 1 in. long, 

 ovoid, mucronate, glabrous.

 axillary or terminal panicles. Sepals and petals 4-12, imbricate in 2-3 series. 

 /Stamens very many, filaments. filiform often flexuous, free or connate below ; 

 anthers erect, 2-celled, dehiscence vertical. Ovary 1-celled ; style slender, 

 stigma peltate ; ovule solitary, erect. Drupe with a crustaceuus putamen.

Branches robust, woody, subcylindric. Leaves coriaceous, rigid, obtusely acuminate, 

 red-brown xvhen dry, shining on both surfaces, especially above, base acute, margin not 

 thickened, a little waved ; nerves extremely close, uniform on both surfaces ; petiole
