A glabrous tree, about 4 m high, the branches and branchlets 
terete, rather stout, about 5 mm in diameter, brownish, nearly 
smooth when dry. Leaves ovate to broadly ovate, thickly co- 
riaceous, eglandular, 10 to 14 cm long, 6 to 9 cm wide, rather pale, 
shining and of the same color on both surfaces when dry, the 
base very broadly rounded and slightly cordate, apex shortly 
acuminate; lateral nerves about 15 on each side of the midrib, 
about equally distinct on both surfaces, nearly straight, spread- 
ing, anastomosing with the equally distinct marginal nerves 8 to 
5 mm from the edge of the leaf, the reticulations very obscure ; 
petioles stout, reddish-brown, 2 mm long or less. Inflorescences 
terminal, stout, 5 to 8 cm long, sessile, branched from the base, 
corymbose-paniculate, the branches stout, the primary ones 2.5 
to 3.5 cm long, brown, rugose, about 4 mm in diameter, the 
ultimate branchlets usually in threes, about 1 cm long, stout, 
compressed, the flowers all sessile and crowded at the tips of 
the branchlets, three to nine on each branchlet. Young fruits 
somewhat urceolate, cylindric, slightly wrinkled when dry, about 
7 mm long, crowned by the four short calyx-lobes.

This species does not appear to be very closely allied to any 
previously described Philippine form. It is well characterized 
by its thickly coriaceous, subsessile, heart-shaped leaves, and 
its stout, terminal inflorescences, the sessile flowers being 
crowded on the ultimate branchlets.
