 very large and perfectly glabrous tree ; young branches stout. Leaves 

 very coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, or linear-oblong, obtuse or sub-acute, 

 the margins sub-undulate, the base sub-cuneate ; main nerves 18 to 

 25 pairs, spreading, curved, reticulations faint on the u[»per and obsolete 

 on the lower surface ; length 8 to 12 in., breadth 1*5 to 25 in.; petiole 

 1'25 to 2 in. Panicle large, the branches widely spreading, bi- or tri- 

 chotomously laxly-branched. Flowers "25 in. in diam., on pedicels '15 

 to "25 in. long, stout. Sepals 5, ovate, obtuse, veined. Petals 5, twice 

 as long as the sepals, elliptic-oblong, with 3 to 5 short vertical ridges 

 confluent at the base into a tubercle. Stamens 5, all bearing anthers, but

 than the leaves, slender, with lax spreading branches, quite glabrous. 

 Flowers nearly "2 in. in diam., in ultimate cymules, on pedicels longer than 

 themselves. Sepals 5, ovate, acute, with membranous edges and a few 

 hairs near the midrib on the back. Petals 5, longer than the sepals, 

 linear-oblong, blunt, the apices reflexed, the base with a single ridge
