Arbor circiter 8 m alta ramuiis junioribus petiolis pedicellis- 
que adpresse villosis; foliis alternis, chartaceis ve! submembra- 
naceis, integris, nitidis, usque ad 20 cm longis, oblongo-ovatis 
ad eiliptico-ovatis, prominente acuminatis, basi rotundatis, 
nervis utrinque 6, subtus prominentibus ; receptaculis obovoideis, 
circiter 1 cm longis, parcissime pubescentibus, pedicellis 
subaequilongis. 
A tree about 8 m high, the young branchlets, petioles, and 
pedicels appressed-villous with pale-brownish hairs. Branches 
reddish-brown, terete, glabrous. Leaves alternate, chartaceous or 
submembranaceous, oblong-ovate to elliptic-ovate, entire, smooth, 
18 to 20 cm long, 9 to 10 cm wide, prominently acuminate, the 
acumen stout, blunt, 1.5 to 2 cm long, base rounded, somewhat 3- 
nerved, the upper surface somewhat olivaceous, shining, the lower 
slightly paler, sparingly pubescent on the midrib and lateral 
nerves; nerves 6 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the 
lower surface, anastomosing, the primary reticulations lax, dis- 
tant, subparallel; petioles 3.5 to 5 cm long; stipules lanceolate, 
acuminate, densely pubescent, about 1 cm long. Receptacles in 
the axils of fallen leaves, mostly in pairs, obovate, about 1 cm 
long, apex rounded, base somewhat narrowed, externally smooth 
and rather pale when dry, very sparingly pubescent with scat- 
tered appressed hairs, the pedicels appressed-villous, about as long 
as the receptacles, the three bracteoles at the apex about 1.5 mm 
long.

differt foliis minoribus, usque ad 12 cm longis, tenuiterque acu- 
minatis, petiolis multo brevioribus, receptaculis globosis. 
A tree about 6 m high, the younger branchlets, petioles, and 
pedicels appressed subferruginous-villous. Branches terete, 
dark reddish-brown, smooth or somewhat wrinkled when dry. 
Leaves alternate, chartaceous, pale-olivaceous, oblong to oblong- 
ovate, 7 to 12 cm long, 3 to 6 cm wide, entire, base rounded or

nerves 6 to 8 on each side of the midrib, prominent on the
