A shrub 1 to 3 m. high, the trunk 1 to 2.5 cm. in diameter, 
glabrous except the flowers, branches grayish or brownish, rather 
smooth, terete, the ultimate ones 2 to 3 mm. in diameter. Leaves 
chartaceous to subcoriaceous, oblong-lanceolate to obiong- 
oblanceolate or oblong-elliptic, grayish and shining on both sur- 
faces when dry and usually minutely verruculose, 25 to 40 cm. 
long, 7 to 12 cm. wide, obtusely acuminate, the base acute to 
somewhat rounded; lateral nerves 15 to 30 on each side of the 
midrib, slightly impressed on the upper surface, conspicuous on 
the lower surface, arched-anastomosing, forming a more or less 
looped marginal nerve, the reticulations lax, not prominent; 
petioles 1.2 to 2 cm. long. Flowers chiefly trom the trunk and 
larger branches below the leaves, sometimes axillary, solitary, 
about 3 em. long, greenish-white, the pedicels about 1.5 cm. long, 
the basal bracteoles triangular, pubescent, about 2 mm. long. 
Calyx about 1.3 em. in diameter, the lobes coriaceous, ovate, con- 
spicuously acuminate, somewhat pubescent, about 7 mm. long. 
Petals coriaceous, the outer three lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate, 
somewhat pubescent on both surfaces, about 3 cm. long, 8 to 10 
mm. wide, narrowed upward, slightly acuminate; inner three petals 
oblong-lanceolate, cinereous-pubescent on both surfaces except at 
the vaulted base inside, 2.2 em. long, 8 mm. wide, obtuse, the base 
slightly vaulted and distinctly clawed, the claw stout, 4 to 5 mm. 
long, Stamens numerous, 3.) to 4 mm. long, the connectives 
rostrate. Carpels about 10, oblong, pubescent, 3 mm. long, the 
glabrous style equalling the carpels; stigma truncate; ovules 5 
to 9. Fruits cylindric, 2 to + on each pe edunele: yellow when fresh, 
dark-brown or gray when dry, glabrous, 6 to 11 cm. long, 1.5 to
