diam. of stem ; branches very stout, 1—2 cm. in diam. at the top; 
bark corky, rough, with prominent leaf- scars; leaf-buds thick, ovoid, 
scales ovate andrusty-puberulous. Leaves very coriaceous, opposite 
or alternate ; obovate or obovate-oblong, rounded or obtusely acute at

shining, prominently reticulate; margins recurved ; 25 —35 cm. long, 
9—12 cm. broad; midrib stout, impressed on the upper, much raised 
on the lower surface; main nerves 10—12 pairs, irregular, impressed 
above, sharply raised beneath, starting at 40°—50° with the midrib 
and gently curving to and along the margin where they meet in 
irregular loops ; secondary nerves and transverse nervules prominent, 
irregular as is the prominently raised reticulation ; petiole very stout, 
rough, puberulous, 1°5—2°5 cm. long. Flowers velvety dark red, in
