hairy, ultimately glabrous ; nerves 6 on each side of the midrib, distinct, 
spreading-ascending, slightly curved, their axils not glandular, the re- 
ticulations indistinct; petioles 1 to 2 cm long, when young pubescent, 
ultimately glabrous. Racemes numerous, 5 to 7 cm long, on the branches 
below the leaves, the rachis and pedicels more or less pubescent, in fruit 
becoming quite glabrous; pedicels about 5 mm long. Sepals lanceolate, 
acuminate, 5 mm long, 1.2 mm wide, with very few scattered hairs on 
the back or glabrous, the margins densely pubescent. Petals as long as 
the sepals, the upper one-third or one-half lacerate, base narrowed, 
glabrous or with few scattered hairs on the back and especially at the 
base. Stamens about 12; anthers 1.8 mm long, cells equal, blunt, not 
apiculate or ciliate. Ovary ovoid, glabrous, 3-celled; style 2 mm long, 
glabrous. Disk pubescent. Fruit ellipsoid about 2 cm long, 1-celled,

A tree about 15 m high, glabrous throughout except the inflorescence. 
Branches ' terete, brown or grayish, not or but obscurely lenticellate. 
Leaves subcoriaceous oblong-lanceolate, or sometimes elliptic-lanceolate. 
5 to 7 cm long, 1.5 to 3 cm wide, shining, beneath sometimes subglaucous, 
the apex shortly, or sometimes rather long- acuminate, acumen obtuse, 
base cuneate, margins crenate ; nerves about 6 on each side of the midrib,
