A large guttapercha- yielding tree, reaching 80 feet in height and a con- 
siderable girth ; branchlets dark brown, smooth, younger branchlets and 
innovations rusty-tomentose ; leaf-buds golden pubescent, scales '2 to 
■3 in. long, lanceolate. Leaves ehartaceous ; oblong, acuminate at the apex 
sometimes caudately sometimes abruptly, cuneate at the base ; glabrous 
above except on the midrib, covered beneath with a silky golden-brown 
pubescence, afterwards glabrate ; 6 to 9 in. long, 2 to 3 in. broad ; mid- 
rib prominent, minutely pubescent above or glabrous ; main-nerves 20 
to 25 pairs, '3 to - 5 in. apart, starting at an angle of about 70° with the 
midrib, at first parallel, ultimately ending in a looped intramarginal 
nerve ; secondary nerves between the main-nerves, obscure like the 
reticulations ; petiole 1 in. long, bordered above by the decurrent 
margins of the blade ; stipules linear, subulate, -3 in. long, golden- 
pubescent, quickly caducous. Floivers fascicled, 2 to 6 together in 
the axils of the leaves ; pedicels slender, - 75 in. long, up to 1 in. in
