Curran, June 16, 1907.

Arbor circiter 10 m alta, partibus junioribus, subtus foliis, ramulis 
inflorescentiisque plus minus fulvo-hirsuto-villosis ; foliis eoriaceis, ob- 
ovatis, usque ad 23 cm longis, apice rotijndatis, basi aeutis, nervis utrinque 
8 yel 9, prominentibus ; inflorescentiis brevibus, dense pubescentibus,

A tree about 10 m high. Branches light-gray, subterete, rather stout, 
apical portions more or less compressed and pubescent. Leaves obovate, 
17 to 23 cm long, 12 to 14 cm wide, the apex rounded, the base acute, 
coriaceous, brown and shining when dry, glabrous on the upper surface, 
beneath sparingly hirsute-villous, especially on the midrib and lateral 
nerves; nerves 8 or 9 on each side of the midrib, prominent, curved- 
anastomosing, the primary reticulations curved, subparallel, prominent; 
petioles stout, about 1 cm long. Inflorescence in the upper axils, at 
most 7 cm long, consisting of two or three branches 2 to 3 cm in length 
or less, densely fulvous-villous, the branches bearing numerous, crowded, 
sessile flowers along one side. Flowers 4-merous, cylindric. Calyx 3 
mm long, the rim produced about 1.5 mm above the ovary, truncate, 
densely fulvous-villous outside. Corolla (in bud) 3.5 mm long, the four 
lobes oblong, obtuse, 3 mm long. Anthers 4, alternating with the corolla- 
lobes, 3 mm long! Style 4-angled, cleft into four arms about 2 mm in 
length, each arm again minutely cleft at the apex. Ovary 4-celled, each
