Arbor fructifera spectabilis, usque ad 15 m. alta, trunco 30-60 centim. 
diametro, sed saepius dimidio minor, interdum frutex a basi ramosus, 
undique glabra. Ramuli floriferi crassi, teretes, leves, internodiis 
brevissimis. Folia breviter crasseque petiolata, crassa, valde coriacea, 
saturate viridia, glaberrima, supra nitidissima, oblongo-lanceolata, 
oblanceolata vel interdum elliptica, interdum usque ad 2-5 decim. 
longa sed plerumque minora, apice saepissime rotundata, basi cuneata 
vel subcuneata ; costa valida, infra elevata, venis immersis obscuris. 
Paniculae densae, per anthesin quam folia saltern dimidio breviores, 
ramulis ac pedicellis brevissimis crassis subcarnosis. Flores circiter 
6-7 millim. diametro; bracteae bracteolaeque vix acutae. Sepala 
fere orbicularia, 2-3 millim. lata, quam petala paullo breviora. 
Petala obovato-spathulata, margine obscure eroso-denticulata. Stami- 
nodia oblongo-spathulata, apice rotundata, margine praecipue supra 
medium obscure eroso-denticulata (‘ apice tricuspidata, cuspide inter- 
medio duplo maiore/ Banks et Solander, manuscr.), quam petala 
circiter dimidio breviora. Fructus drupaceus, anguste ovoideus vel 
ellipsoideus, saepe leviter obliquus, plerumque 2-5-4 centim. longus, sed 
interdum usque ad 5*7 centim. longus, primum atroviridis, demum 
aurantiacus, levis, glaber, nitidus. — Bot. Mag. lxxiv (1848), t. 4379,
