Arbor parva, ramulis et inflorescentiis et fructibus exceptis 
glaber; foliis anguste oblongo-lanceolatis, coriaceis, 23 ad 30 
cm longis, 4 ad 6 cm iatis, apice tenuiter acuminatis, basi late 
acutis, utrinque nec profunde foveolatis, nervis utrinque circiter 
9, distantibus, distinctis; fructibus inaequilateralibus, oblongis, 
circiter 3 cm longis, acuminatis, deorsum angustatis, extus 
densissime castaneo-pubescens. 
A shrub or small tree, glabrous except the very young branch- 
lets, inflorescences, and fruits. Branches terete, glabrous, red- 
dish-brown. Leaves narrowly oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous, 23 
to 30 cm long, 4 to 6 cm wide, shining when dry, the apex 
slenderly acuminate, the base broadly acute ; lateral nerves 
about 9 on each side of the midrib, distant, distinct, anastomos- 
ing, the ultimate reticulations often distinct ; both surfaces 
appearing shallowly foveolate; petioles 1.5 to 3 cm long. 
Infructescences axillary and from the axils of fallen leaves, the 
carpels either solitary or in pairs or threes on a common pedun- 
cle which is less than 1 cm in length. Follicles inequilateral, 
oblong, about 3 cm long and 1 cm wide, one side nearly straight, 
the other curved, apex acuminate, base narrowed into a 5 mm 
long pseudostalk, densely pubescent outside with short casta- 
neous hairs.

A species belonging in the group with Ellipanthus luzoniensis
