A small tree; branches terete, those bearing the clusters of figs 1/2– 3/4 in. in diam., covered with a grey bark marked with large scattered lenticels; young leafy branchlets fairly slender, glabrous. Leaves oblong or oblong-elliptic, obtusely acuminate, rounded at the base, 3 1/2–6 1/2 in. long, 2–2 1/2 in. broad, entire, thinly chartaceous, dull and glabrous on both surfaces; midrib flat above, prominent below, about 3/4 lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered to the apex of the leaf-blade; lateral nerves 6–8 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it at an angle of about 75°, prominent below, looped some distance from the margin, rather slender; tertiary nerves subparalled to the lateral ones; veins prominent below, laxly reticulate; petiole 1 in. long, slender, glabrous; stipules early caducous, linear-lanceolate, very acutely acuminate, 3/4 in. long, subcoriaceous, glabrous. Receptacles fasciculate on the branches of several years' growth, remote from the leaves, 3–5 in a fascicle, pedunculate, narrowly obovoid-ellipsoid, stipitate at the base, 1/2– 3/4 in. long, about 5 lin. in diam., glabrous, straw-coloured and spotted when dry, not wrinkled; stipe 1–1 1/4 lin. long; peduncles slender, 3/4 in. long, twisting and angular, very minutely puberulous. Basal bracts small and caducous, their narrowly connate bases persistent and 1-sided. Ostiole slightly produced, minute, pore-like; bracts all descending into the receptacle, linear, acute, up to 2 lin. long, with membranous margins. Male flowers with a solitary stamen. Females subsessile, with large papillose stigmas.
