Flora, 1871, p. 342. 



A moderate-sized tree, quite glabrous except the buds. Leaves varying from elliptic- 

 oblong to oblong, usually rather unequal and but little narrowed at base, acute or acuminate, 

 entire, 5 10 in. long, thinly coriaceous, glabrous ; petioles ^ \ in. long, crass ; lateral veins 

 prominent below; net-veins rather distant and conspicuous beneath. 



<5 . Flowers yellow, tetramerous, in bud T ^ in. long, elongated, very shortly pedicelled, 

 3 or few together, in axillary shortly-stalked minutely puberulous bracteated cymes, on young 

 usually leafless shoots, simulating racemes ; bracts wide, rather acute, puberulous. Calyx 

 puberulous ; lobes widely-oblong, obtuse, about in. long. Corolla urceolate (-oblong ?) ; tube 

 a little longer than the calyx; lobes ovate, acute, equalling the tube. Stamens about 16,
