of the lobes, projecting about 3 mm beyond the ovary; calyx-lobes 4, 
rounded, 1-1.5 mm long, 2-3.5 mm wide; petals free or apparently 
sometimes calyptrate, white, suborbicular, 5 mm in diameter ; disk 
evident ; stamens numerous, the filaments 7-14 mm long, the anthers 
about 0.5 mm long; style slightly exceeding 1 cm in length; ovary 
2-eelled. 
A tree 15-20 m high, with a trunk 50-75 cm in diameter, the branches 
and branchlets 4-angled and sometimes slightly winged, with gray or 
purplish bark: leaves with petioles about 5 mm long, or less often subses- 
sile, the lamina subcoriaceous, oblanceolate or elliptic, 6-20 cm long, 
4-7.5 cm wide, the base acuminate and shallowly cordate, the apex some- 
what abruptly contracted into a short obtuse acumen; lateral veins on 
each side of the midrib 14—18, forming a definite submarginal vein.

Inflorescence cymose-paniculate, about 6 cm long, the rachis and its 
branches stout, 4-angled, subtended by bracts attaining 7 mm in length 
but often shorter, the individual flowers sessile, their bractlets 4, con- 
spicuous, oval or nearly orbicular, 2-3 mm long : calyx-tube nearly hemi- 
spherical, 4 mm long, 3-5 mm in diameter at the base of the lobes, 
extending 2-3 mm beyond the ovary; calyx-lobes 4, 0.7-0. 8 mm long, 
1.5-2 mm wide, their apices rounded or truncate; petals falling calyp- 
trately, the cap about 3 mm in diameter, about 1 mm in vertical height; 
stamens numerous, the filaments 2-4 mm long, the anthers about 0.4 mm 
long; style 6-7 mm long, tapering; ovary 2-celled. 
A tree about 10 m high, with a trunk 17.5 cm in diameter, its ultimate 
branches 4-angled and often narrowly winged, with brownish or purplish 
bark when dry: leaves sessile or subsessile, the lamina subcoriaceous, 
oblanceolate or broadly oblanceolate, the youngest excepted 16-32 cm 
long, 6-1 1 cm wide, acuminate at both extremities, at the base often 
for one-third the length of the leaf, shortly and obtusety at the apex, the 
base auriculate or merely obtuse; lateral veins 16-25, less distinct toward 
the extremes, crowded near the base, the midvein strongly developed and 
projecting; finer venation evident but not conspicuous.
