Arbor circiter 10 m alta, partibus junioribus inflorescentiis- 
que exceptis glabra; foliis coriaceis, oblongo-ovatis ad oblongo- 
lanceolatis, nitidis, brunneo-olivaceis, usque ad 25 cm longis, 
tenuiter acuminatis, basi acutis, nervis utrinque 11 ad 13, promi- 
nentibus; inflorescentiis longe pedunculatis, dense adpresse pu- 
bescentibus; floribus numerosis, circiter 1.5 cm longis. 
A tree about 10 m high, glabrous except the inflorescences and 
the younger parts. Branches glabrous, smooth, terete or some- 
what compressed, the branchlets compressed, usually dark, ap- 
pressed cinereous-pubescent. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-ovate to 
oblong-lanceolate, brownish-olivaceous, shining, and of about the 
same color on both surfaces when dry, glabrous, narrowed up- 
ward to the slenderly acuminate apex, the base acute; lateral 
nerves 11 to 13 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved, the 
reticulations very slender; petioles about 2.5 cm long, nearly 
black when dry, glabrous; stipules lanceolate, slenderly acumi- 
nate, brownish when dry, ultimately glabrous, about 2 cm long. 
Panicles terminal, all parts densely appressed-pubescent with 
pale-brownish or cinereous hairs, usually trichotomously 
branched, the peduncles about 14 cm long, about equalling the 
flower-bearing portions. Flowers numerous, white, cymosely 
arranged, about 1.5 cm long, somewhat funnel-shaped. Calyx 
somewhat campanulate, densely pubescent, about 7 mm long, the 
lobes subreniform, 2 mm long and 3 mm wide. Corolla densely 
pubescent externally, the lower 3 mm of the tube cylindric, then 
enlarged, inside densely bearded below the insertion of the 
stamens, the lobes somewhat recurved, reniform, 3 mm long, 5 
mm wide. Anthers 2 mm_ long. Style glabrous, 8 mm long.
