Branchlets ribbed or angular when young, covered with grey finely puberulous bark. Leaves oblanceolate or oblong-oblanceolate, very shortly and obtusely acuminate, cuneate at the base, 2 1/2–4 1/2 in. long, 1–2 in. broad, entire, rigidly coriaceous, glabrous and dull on both surfaces; midrib flat above, prominent and rounded below, about 1 lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered to the apex of the blade; lateral nerves about 5 on each side of the midrib, diverging at an angle of about 45°, looped near the margin, rather slender, prominent on the lower surface; tertiary nerves scarcely distinguishable; veins finely reticulate below, scarcely raised; petiole rather stout, 1/2– 3/4 in. long, glabrous; stipules persistent, lanceolate, acute, up to 3/4 in. long, membranous, longitudinally striate, glabrous. Receptacles axillary, probably in pairs, pedunculate, globose, about 1/3 in. in diam., marked with scattered black spots when dry, shortly whitish-pubescent; peduncle 5–6 lin. long, 2/3 lin. thick, shortly pubescent. Basal bracts 2, slightly connate at the base, broadly ovate, rounded at the apex, 1 1/3 lin. long and broad, thinly chartaceous, glabrous. Ostiole 2-lipped, slightly produced, glabrous; mouth 1/2 lin. broad; bracts few, not visible from the outside, all descending. Flowers too young for description.
