(‘a lofty tree’ Ridley); branches spreading; branchlets very stout, 
cinereous-brown, rough, prominently marked with the large scars of 
fallen leaves, the younger ones covered, as are the undersurfaces of 
the leaves and the panicles, with loose scurfy bright rufous minute 
stellate tomentum; buds lanceolate, 3 cm. long. Leaves large, coria- 
ceous; elliptic to elliptic-lanceolate or oblanceolate, acute or shortly 
acuminate at apex, attenuate and slightly unequal at base; upper

when dry; 25—70 cm. long, 10—22 cm. broad; midrib very stout; 
main nerves 15—30 pairs, impressed on the upper, very prominent 
and almost winged on the lower surface when dry, spreading, straight
