 crassioribus, ovatis, paullo brevioribus, intus glabris; antheris 

 1.5 ad 2 mm longis; carpellis usque ad 10, oblongo-cylindraceis, 

 pilosis, ut videtur 4-ovulatis, 2 mm longis; stylis crassis, stig-

 ravines. Local name: Shan tsiu. 



This species is aparently well characterized by its rather thin, 

 subcaudate-acuminate leaves, but its true alliances are not clear

 notes indicate that it is a tree 15 m high with the trunk 30 cm 

 in diameter. There is probably some error here.
