Inflorescences terminal or subterminal, 1-2 cm long, the rachises 
subterete, striate, the bractlets ovate, obtuse, 0.5 mm long, the flowers 
sessile in heads of 4 to 8, paniculately disposed: buds 3.5-4 mm long; 
calyx- tube turbinate, 2.5 mm long, 2 mm wide at the apex, the lobes 
merely forming undulations less than 0.5 mm long, ridge running down 
the side of the tube corresponding to their most elevated point; corolla 
calyptrate, 2 mm in diameter; stamens numerous, the filaments not 
exceeding 2 mm in length, the anthers oblong, 0.3 mm long; style as 
yet only 1 mm long ; ovary somewhat thick-walled, 2-cellecl, f'ew-ovuled. 
A tree attaining a height of 5 m and a trunk-diameter of 20 cm, its 
branches covered with gray to pinkish-gray bark: leaves with petioles 
3-5 mm long, the lamina coriaceous, ovate, oblong, or more usually 
lanceolate or elliptic-lanceolate, 3.5-8 cm long, 1.8-3. 2 cm wide, the 
base acute or acutely acuminate, usually decurrent, the margin not or 
barely revolute, the apex obtusely acuminate or caudate, at least the 
upper surface shining; primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 
18-25, usually much more conspicuous than the intervening irregularly- 
reticulated intervening veins, their apices forming a vein close to the 
margin, in the intervening space on the upper surface pinkish like the 
under surface and not showing any veins.

This species approaches E. striatula, hut the latter is easily distinguished not 
only by its widely branching inflorescence and free petals, but by its fewer 
leaf-veins. 
Local name, Pamayausin, Ilocos Norte.
