A small tree. Branchlets subterete 2—5 mm. thick, at first 
minutely sparsely hirtellous, then glabrous; internodes 1—4 cm. 
long. Lamine thinly coriaceous, oblong elliptical, lanceolate or 
oblanceolate, 6°5—30 cm. long, 2°2—9°5 cm. broad, glabrous, with 
shortly caudately acuminate apex and subcuneate base, subnitid on 
upper, dull on lower surface, with slender nerves and midrib; 
nerves 7—12; reticulation clear; petiole somewhat slender, slightly 
thickened at both ends, grooved on upper surface, ‘8—5 cm. long, 
glabrous or sparsely hirtellous; stipules triangular, entire, acute 
3—4 mm. long, + puberulous on outer, glabrous on inner sur- 
face. Flowers in closely imbricatingly bracteolate nodules or very 
short racemules, ¢ and @ in the same or different axils ; bracteoles
