Information Tree, 50–65 ft. high; twigs stellate-scabrous. Leaves distinctly petioled, orbicular-cordate, acute or obtuse, entire or somewhat undulate or crenate, 8 in. long, as much across, green, hoary-stellate beneath on nerves, veins and reticulations only, with a few scattered flat glands above, sparsely stellate-scurfy on nerves and reticulations; stipules lanceolate, 5 lin. long. Male flowers pedicelled, copiously panicled, large for the genus, in bud globose, 2 1/2 lin. wide when open. Calyx densely stellate-pubescent. Stamens about 30; filaments longer than the anthers; connective with a single terminal gland; extra-staminal scales oblong, truncate or emarginate. Female flowers in simple or sparingly branched racemes, large, 5 lin. long, 8 lin. wide. Sepals lanceolate, accrescent, stellate-velvety, connate below in a short tube. Styles rather broad, 2-fid. Capsule 3-coccous, 6 lin. long, as much across. Seeds ovoid, pale brown; hilum large, prolonged halfway down on the inner side.
