Inflorescences terminal and subterminal, about 2 cm long, forming a 
leafy panicle, the sessile white flowers all crowded at the extremities of the 
main branches : calyx-tube turbinate-hemispheric, 4 mm long, 4 mm wide 
at the apex, the lobes very short, merely forming an undulate border; 
petals 4, free, orbicular-ovate, 2.5-3 mm long; stamens numerous, the 
filaments about 3 mm long, the anthers 0.5 mm long; style subulate, 4 
mm long, ovary somewhat thick-walled, 2-eelled, several-seeded : fruit 
reddish, slightly exceeding 1 cm in diameter, thick-walled, 2-eelled, the 
seeds immature. 
A tree 20 m high, with a trunk 40 cm in diameter, the branches 
covered with cinnamon-colored bark: leaves with petioles 3-6 mm long, 
the lamina coriaceous, the upper surface vitreous-shining, the under 
somewhat shining but much less so than the upper, elliptic, elliptic- 
lanceolate, or oblong, 4.5-6 cm long, 2-3 cm wide, the base acute, the 
margins slightly revolute, the apex rather gradually contracted into a 
slender acumen not exceeding 1 cm long; primary lateral veins on each
