Tree with white bark. Leaves stiff coriaceous elliptic shortly 
apiculate blunt, base cuneate entire, midrib sunk above, strongly 
elevate beneath; nerves 9 pairs, slender not very conspicuous 
inarching, reticulations invisible, 3-5 to 4 in. long, i’25 to i'5 in. 
wide; petioles 3 in. long. Flowers very small in peduncled sub¬

•3 in. long. Calyx lobes round 4. Pyrenes about 10. Hab.

I have only fruit of this, and take the description of the flowers from 
Borneo specimens, which in vegetative organs this plant very closely 
resembles. It also is near I. eugeni&folia Pierre of Cochin-China, but the 
leaves are more coriaceous.
