tree ?, branchlets smooth, pale brown, the youngest slightly puberu- 
lous. Leaves chartaceous; oblanceolate, abruptly caudate—acumi- 
nate at apex, cuneate at base; both surfaces dull, the upper nearly 
black when dry, glabrous, the lower reddish-brown with a few hairs 
scattered on the surface; margin shortly but closely serrate on the 
upper two-thirds, entire towards the base; 12—18 em. long, 4—6 
em. broad ; midrib slender, prominent beneath ; main nerves 8—10 
pairs curving towards the margin and there joined in angular 
loops, prominent beneath; transverse nervules irregular, branch- 
ing, enclosing an irregular reticulation; petiole about 1 cm. long, 
the margins of the blade decurrent almost to its base. Racemes 
(young only) from the axils of fallen leaves, solitary or geminate, 
minutely ferruginous-hirsute; pedicels short, 2-flowered; bract 
ovate, acuminate, 2 mm. long; bracteoles similar, 1 mm. long ;

prominent especially beneath, curving to near the margin and there 
more or less interarching; transverse nervules few, branching and 
enclosing the areolate reticulation; petiole under 1 cm. long, the
