antheris numerosis, sessilibus, orbicularis, 2-locellatis, in re- 
ceptaculum integrum dense confertis. Ovarium rudimentum 
nullum. 
A tree about 12 m high, entirely glabrous, the branches and 
branchlets slender, dark purplish-brown when dry, terete, or the 
latter obscurely angled. Leaves oblong, membranaceous, 
shining, olivaceous, 5 to 9 cm long, 2 to 3 cm wide, subequally 
narrowed to the acute base and to the rather slenderly blunt- 
acuminate apex; lateral nerves about 15 on each side of the 
midrib, very slender, anastomosing, the reticulations lax ; petioles 
slender, 5 to 8 mm long. Staminate flowers axillary, 4-merous, 
solitary or in pairs, their pedicels slender, somewhat thickened 
upward, about 1 cm long, each subtended by a pair of linear- 
lanceolate, acuminate, 1.5 mm long bracteoles. Buds globose. 
Sepals 4, equal, orbicular or suborbicular, rounded, margins 
minutely and obscurely ciliate, about 2.5 mm in diameter. Petals 
4, in anthesis oblong, spreading, rounded, subcoriaceous, 6 to 
7 mm long, 2.5 to 3.5 mm wide. Anthers about 40, on all sides 
of the entire receptacle, orbicular, 0.5 mm in diameter, 2-celled, 
laterally dehiscent. Rudimentary ovary none.

A species well characterized by its membranaceous leaves and its solitary 
or paired, long-pedicelled, staminate flowers. It does not appear to be 
closely allied to any previously described form.
