 and yellowish brown bark which peels off to small pieces in age ; branches 

 spreading, dispersed with small old lenticels ; branchlets spreading or erect- 

 patent, stramineous- drab, with indistinct sparse lenticels, glabrous but those 

 of this year which are more or less pubescent with adpressed hairs. Bud 

 terminal, narrowly oblong-conical, acute, very slightly pubescent ; scales 

 several, imbricated, rounded-ovate, concave within, entire, with a minute 

 apiculate apex, membranaceous on the margin, chartaceo-herbaceous, light 

 green shaded with purple tint, deciduous. Leaves petiolate, sparse, usually 

 approximate one another, oblanceolate or oblanceolate-oblong, gradually long 

 attenuated towards the base, usually shortly subacuminate with a obtuse 

 apex, entire, chartaceous, glabrous and more or less shining on the upper 

 surface, slightly glaucous glabrate or sparingly pilose beneath except the 

 nerves, but sericeous-pilose-pubescent when young, 4-17 cm. long, 1£-3§cid. 

 broad, ferruginous-brown or dark-ferruginous when dried, penniveined, more 

 or less odoriferous ; midrib slender, prominent beneath, pilose- pubescent as 

 are the veins, but densely sericeous-pilose- pubescent as well as the veins 

 when young ; veins 5-8 on each side, prominent beneath, loose, running 

 upwards obliquely, slightly arcuate ; veinlets very fine ; petiole 5-14 mm.
