foliis ellipticis vel elliptico-oblanceolatis, basi acutis vel subacutis, apice 
breviter obtuse acuminatis; venis utrinque 8-10. 
Inflorescences at the apices of the branches, sometimes three-forkecl 
from their base, more often the middle fork replaced by a short leaf- 
bearing branch, many times branched but the flowers nearly level along 
the top, 6 or 7 articulations intervening between the apex of the stem and 
the individual flowers, the latter always with pedicels, these often twice 
or thrice articulated, each articulation except the lowest with a pair of 
very short but wide rounded and conspicuous bracteoles nearly encircling 
the pedicels : flowers when dry yellowish or yellowish and purplish except 
the whitish anthers; calyx-tube turbinate, 4-5 mm long, 4 mm wide at 
the base of the lobes; lobes 4, 1.5-2. 5 mm long, 2.5-3 mm wide, rounded; 
petals 4, deciduous, apparently falling calyptrately at some times but 
certainly separating at others, 7-8 mm in diameter; disk present, its rim 
free from the calyx ; stamens about 60, the filaments fiat, wide, more or 
less united at the base, 8-12 mm long; anthers broad, about 1 mm long; 
style about 1 cm long; ovary 2-celled. 
A tree 15 m high, its trunk 25 cm in diameter, the branchlets covered 
with brownish bark : leaves with, petioles 5-8 mm long, the lamina coria- 
ceous, elliptic-oblanceolate or elliptic, 6-8.5 cm long, 2.5-4 cm wide, 
narrowed toward the base, there often more or less rounded but meeting 
the petiole at an acute angle, the margins revolute, the apex forming a 
short obtuse acumen; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 
8-10, forming two or three definite submarginal veins.

Inflorescentiis axillaribus, capitatis, capitulis racemose vel spicatim 
dispositis : calycis tubo subturbinato, basi producto, lobis 4, triangulari- 
ovatis ; petalis 4, liberis ; staminibus numerosis : foliis chartaceis, oblanc-e- 
olatis vel ellipticis, basi acutis, apice anguste acuminatis; venis utrinque 
23-35. 
Inflorescences in the upper axils, 5-7 cm long, the individual flowers 
sessile in heads of three or more, the heads sessile or more often pedicelled 
along the 4-angled axis of the inflorescence : calyx- tube about 7 mm long, 
of which the basal 3-4 mm forms a definite pseudostalk, 5 mm in diameter 
at the base of the lobes ; calyx-lobes 4, not verjr unequal, triangular-ovate, 
2-3 mm long, 2-3 mm wide at the base; petals 4, free but apparently 
sometimes falling together, white, suborbicular, 3 mm in diameter; sta- 
mens numerous, the filaments 3—4 mm long, the anthers 0.4 mm long; 
style over 4 mm long ; ovary 2-celled, with several ovules. 
A tree about 8 m high, the branchlets 4-angled, and narrowly winged, 
covered with reddish-brown bark; leaves with petioles 6-10 mm long.
