nerves also impressed above and raised beneath, 5 to 10 pairs, curved 
upwards, and joined by subparallel transverse nervules also impressed 
above, and these again by a minute network of reticulations ; petiole 
1 cm. long, usually twisted. Flowers very small, pedicellate, in 
slender rusty pubescent much branched terminal or axillary leafy 
panicles about as long as the leaves ; bracts at base of pedicel oblong, 
1-5 mm. long, bracteoles 3 much shorter; pedicels -5 mm. long. 
Perianth-tube cylindrical, constricted at mouth, 1-5 to 2 mm. long; 
lobes ovate, obtuse, equal, as long as tube, nearly glabrous within. 
Stamens of Ist and 2nd rowsshort, anthers ovate, filaments villous, 
connective glandular dotted; those of 3rd row obtuse, also dotted, 
and with rather large reflexed crest; staminodes of 4th row cordate 
acuminate, dotted, villous on the back, ‘75 mm. long; glands -5 
mm. long, stipitate. Ovary narrowly ovate, attenuate into the style; 
stigma obtuse. Fruit black, glabrous, ovoid-flask-shaped, acute at 
apex, 2 to 2-5 cm. long, 1:5 cm. broad. Seed conforms to the fruit;

i, 335 (1851). A tree reaching a height of 15 to 20 m. and a diam. 
of 25 to 35 cm.; branchlets brown, rather stout, somewhat angular 
with prominent rather large lenticels, uppermost and innovations 
tawny-puberulous. Leaves chartaceo-coriaceous; elliptic or oblong- 
lanceolate, sometimes subovate, shortly acuminate at apex, cuneate 
attenuate or occasionally rounded at base; upper surface glabrous 
except on the midrib and main nerves, dull or slightly shining, lower 
glaucescent, tawny villous on the midrib and nerves minutely 
puberulous between them, ultimately almost or quite glabrous; 
10—20 cm. long, 4—8 cm. broad; midrib stout, slightly impressed 
above, prominent beneath; main nerves 8 to 15, slightly raised on 
the upper surface, curving upwards to and along the margin and there 
sometimes joining in loops, secondary nerves occasional, transverse 
nervules subparallel, slender, moderately conspicuous as are the 
reticulations between them; petiole 1 cm. long, puberulous. Flowers 
pedicellate, in axillary or terminal branching grey- or tawny-pubes- 
cent panicles shorter than the leaves and about 10 cm. longif axillary, 
if terminal reaching 15 cm. or more; cymes spreading, corymbose ;
