Mature leaves thick, coriaceous, of egg-shell lustre on 

 the upper, but dull on the lower surface, lanceolate, 

 straight or falcate, tapering into a long apex, petiolate, up 

 to 14 cm. long and more, up to 4 cm. in greatest width, 

 with petioles of 2 cm. Venation inconspicuous, the 

 secondary veins penniveined, nearly as parallel and com- 

 monly making scarcely a more acute angle with the midrib 

 than the Corymbosse; the intramarginal vein not far 

 removed from the edge. 



Buds up to nine in the head, on a broad strap shaped 

 peduncle of 1 cm. or less, sessile or on pedicels of *5 cm., 

 each commonly with a double operculum; calyx-tube 

 hemispherical to hemiellipsoid, with two angles or ribs 

 sometimes so prominent as to be winged; operculum hemi- 

 spherical to conoid, up to 7 mm, in diameter and sometimes 

 exceeding that of the calyx-tube. 



Anthers white, opening in parallel slits, the two cells 

 usually cohering to the tips; versatile; large gland at the 

 back. 



Fruits almost hemispherical, about 7 mm. in diameter, 

 often with two or more angles or wings; rim well defined; 

 the calyx- valves three or four, broad at the base, and the 

 tips well exsert.
