cm longis, dense fulvo-pilosis ; floribus in anthesis 1 ad 1.5 cm 
diametro. 
A small tree about 8 m high, glabrous except the inflorescence. 
Branches brown, smooth, slender, terete, the ultimate ones 2 to 
3 mm in diameter. Leaves elliptic or elliptic-ovate, chartaceous,

one; lateral nerves about 10 pairs, rather prominent; petioles 
2 cm long. Racemes axillary, 6 to 9 cm long, rather densely 
pubescent with pale fulvous hairs; bracteoles oblong-lanceolate, 
acuminate, pubescent, 3.5 mm long, deciduous; pedicels about
