Small tree, branches and leaves glabrous. Leaves lanceolate 
acuminate, base blunt thinly coriaceous, beneath glaucescent; 
nerves about 10 pairs very fine inarching within the margin; 2 in. 
long, 75 in. wide; petioles -i in. long or less. Stipules setaceous, 
base broader. Male flowers unknown. Female flowers 2 or more

This seems allied to C. parvifolius Hook, fil., of which the female flowers 
and fruit only are known, but in that the nerves of the leaves are not in¬ 
arching, and the bracts are glabrous; the shape of the petals is also different.

pairs; 3 to 7 in. long, 75 to 2*5 in. wide; petioles -i in. long. 
Flowering branches -5 to 3 in. long, tomentose with very small

nearly as long as the flowers. Male flowers sub-sessile. Sepals 
lanceolate. Petals very shortly clawed obcuneate, tip truncate
