A tree 15 to 20 m high, the young branches and inflorescence densely 
ferruginous-pubescent. Branches terete, brown or reddish-brown, glab- 
rous. Leaves alternate, coriaceous, oblong-ovate to oblong-lanceolate, 
entire, coriaceous, 9 to 18 cm long, 4.5 to 8 cm wide, brown and shining 
when dry, entire, glabrous or somewhat pubescent on the midrib and 
lateral nerves beneath, the apex usually prominently and sharply acumi- 
nate, the acumen sometimes subfalcate, the base acute, rarely somewhat 
rounded ; nerves 5 to 7 on each side of the midrib, prominent beneath, 
ascending, slightly curved, anastomosing near the margin, the reticula- 
tions lax; petioles often ferruginous-pubescent ultimately subglabrous, 
3 to 5 cm long, slightly thickened at the apex and sometimes a little 
geniculate. Staminate inflorescence in the upper axils, of narrow, 3 to 
5 cm long, racemose panicles, all parts of it densely ferruginous-pubescent, 
the branches short, each one subtended by an ovate bract about 3 mm 
long, the flowers minute, sessile, congested, subtended by bracteoles similar 
to but smaller than the bracts. Sepals 4, free, valvate, acute or slightly 
acuminate, ovate, pubescent, 2 mm long. Petals none. Stamens 4, in 
the center of the flower, with no staminodes and no disk; filaments very
