A large tree (Curtis) ; young branobeg rather atoiit, with dark lenfci- 
tjellat© bark. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, 
caudate-acuminate, narrowed at the ba>se to the short petiole; both 
Burfacea glabrous, the upper very polished, the lower duller; main 
nerves 7-10 pairs, curving upwards, fatut ; leiigtli 3'5-6 in., breadth 
l'2-2'25 in., petiole *25-'35 iu. Pa it w/ej? axillary and tormiual, pedmicti- 
late, longer than the leaves, pyramidal, nearly glabrous, the branches 
sparsely-fiowered ; bracta, if any, deciduous (not seen). Flowers 'bin. 
long, on short pedicels. Calyx-tuhe narrowly fu»nol-shaped, Loary- 
pubescent, the lobes rotund. Petals broadly oblong, concave, anU- 
glabi-oua, about as long as the calyx-lobes. Stamens 20-30 ; the fila- 
luenta longer than the petals, united at the base into a short tube. 
Ovary Yery tomentose; the style longer than the stameJis, glabrous.

Panicles axillary and terminal, nbout one-third to one-half as long as 
the leaves, with short branches, everywhere rusty-pubescent ; bract at 
the base of the flowers Esolitary, lanceolate, tomentose. Flowers '5 in. 
long, sessile. Calyx-tube curved, narrowly tnbular below (he bend 
and suddenly expanded above it; the lobes thick, concave, reflexed,
