branching, to meet in irregular loops well within the margin, scarcely 
raised above ; transverse nervules few, inconspicuous but visible 
on the lower surface as are the reticulations; petiole slender, 5 to 15 
mm. long. Flowers minute, 4mm in diam., in very slender glab- 
rous pedunculate panicles from the axils of upper leaves reaching 
7 cm. in length and about 2 cm. in breadth; peduncles filiform as are 
the branches and pedicels, the latter clavate nearly 3 mm. long ; 
buds globose. Perianth-tube very short; lobes ovate, the outer 
about 1 mm. long, the inner 1°5 mm., all very glandular and nearly 
glabrous without, puberulous within. Stamens of 1st and 2nd rows 
very small, clavate, villous, 15 mm. long; those of 3rd row rather 
longer with 2 villous rounded glands at the base; staminodes of 
4th row ovate obtuse, villous. Ovary oblong; style very thick,

A tree, with spreading branches, reaching 12 to 18 m. in height and 
40 to 50 cm. in diameter of stem ; branchlets moderately stout, grey- 
ish-white, lenticellate; leaf-buds lanceolate, tawny pubescent, with 
few scales. Leaves chartaceo-coriaceous, variable in shape; elliptic 
or elliptic-obovate or -oblanceolate, obtusely acute to even sharply 
cuspidate acuminate at apex, cuneate attenuate or slightly rounded 
at base; upper surface shining, olive-green when dry, minutely punc- 
ticulate, glabrous except on the midrib, lower reddish-brown glab- 
rous ; l10O—25 cm. long, 5—9 cm. broad ; midrib stout, raised on 
both surfaces; main nerves 8—11 pairs, starting at 50° to 60° with the 
midrib and curving to and along the margin, the upper ones joining 
in prominent loops, slightly impressed above, raised beneath, joined 
by rather irregular distant transverse nervules, which and the minor 
reticulations are prominent on both surfaces; petiole stout, 1—3 cm. 
long, the base often wrinkled, the upper part bordered by the decur- 
rent margins of the blade. lowers reddish or yellowish, small, in 
rusty-tomentose panicles from the upper leaf-axils, the panicles 
10—12 cm. long and about 4 cm. broad; peduncle short; rhachis 
often flattened, branches short, ending in umbels of 3—6 flowers ; 
bracts very small, ovate, caducous; bracteoles minute; pedicels
