Tree up to 15 m tall; branches spreading, forming a leafy, umbrageous canopy, or often appearing as a large shrub; young vegetative parts appressed rusty-tomentose; branches, petioles and leaves ultimately glabrous. Leaves coriaceous or thinly coriaceous, shiny above, paler beneath, ovate-lanceolate to oblong-obovate, sometimes obovate or broadly elliptic, sometimes broadly lanceolate, apex obtusely acuminate or gradually tapering, obtuse or more rarely slightly emarginate, occasionally rounded, tapering at the base, margin slightly thickened and subreflexed, 4-11 cm long and 2-5 cm wide; petiole 10-35 mm long. Flowers often numerous on the twigs in fascicles of 3 or more, sometimes only 1-3 per axil; pedicels 10-30 mm long, rusty-pubescent, recurved. Sepals long-triangular to ovate-lanceolate, acute; the outer ones rusty-pubescent often with a narrow pale edge, 5-7 mm long and 2-3 mm wide, the inner ones pale greyish-white tomentose, slightly shorter and narrower. Corolla-lobes about 6 mm long, linear-lanceolate, acute, their appendages about as long or shorter, 4-6 mm, linear-lanceolate and acute. Anthers elongate-sagittate, apiculate, about 3-5 mm long on subulate 1-5 mm long filaments. Staminodes long-triangular or triangular-lanceolate, either shorter than the stamens and acute, or longer than the stamens and long-acuminate to nearly aristate; densely pilose outside. Ovary globose or ovoid, about 2-5 mm long, villous, attenuate into the 5-10 mm long glabrous, terete long-subulate style. Berry ovoid, ellipsoid or almost spherical, 2-3 cm long, 1-2-5 cm diam., sometimes smaller, glabrous and yellow when ripe, usually crowned by the persistent style (at least when young), with mealy, edible pulp, 1-4 seeded. Seeds obovate or elliptic, compressed, usually 15-20 mm long, 9-12 mm wide and 4-5 mm thick, sometimes considerably smaller; often (especially when 1 or 2 seeds are present) more or less laterally produced or at any rate somewhat attenuate at the base; the scar nearly basal, almost horizontal, in a hollow sinus; testa light brown, shiny.—Fig. 6: 2.
