A tree 6-8 m. high, with a trunk 7.5-20 cm in diameter, its bark gray, 
that of the ultimate branches greenish or grayish, striate, along with the 
petioles short-ferruginous-tomentose or glabrescent; leaves alternate, gla- 
brous, coriaceous, entire or only slightly sinuate, oblong, elliptic, or 
lanceolate, 23-36 cm long, 6-9 cm wide, borne on petioles 1.2-2. 5 cm 
long and 2. 7-3. 5 mm wide, at the apex narrowed into an obtuse acumen 
about 2.5 cm long, not more than 1 cm in width for over that distance 
from the tip, inequilateral, one side of the" base rounded, the other very 
acute, approaching the midrib before the rounded side, their elevated 
margins forming with the apex of the petiole a distinct hollow, both 
surfaces of the lamina shining, the upper bluish-green, the under paler; 
primary lateral veins on each side of the midrib 11-17, along with the
