A large tree with almost globose crown; branches reaching down to the ground; young branchlets coarsely sulcate or angular, softly puberulous. Leaves oblong or oblong-elliptic, shortly and subacutely acuminate, obtuse or slightly rounded at the base, 3–6 in. long, 1–2 in. broad, entire, coriaceous, glabrous; midrib flat above, prominent below, about 1 lin. broad at the base, gradually tapered to the apex of the blade; lateral nerves 8–12 on each side of the midrib, diverging from it at an angle of 45°, slightly arcuate, looped near the margin, distinct on each surface, slightly more prominent below; tertiary nerves little less prominent than the lateral and following their direction, slightly prominent below, veins rather close and distinct below; petiole 1/2–1 in. long, about 1 1/4 lin. thick, glabrous; stipules deciduous, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, 3 lin. long, appressed-villous on the outside. Receptacles axillary, solitary, pedunculate, subglobose, about 3 1/2 lin. in diam., glabrous; peduncle stout, 1 1/2 lin. long, tomentose. Basal bracts 2, rounded, membranous, glabrous. Ostiole 2-lipped, prominent; bracts all descending vertically into the receptacle, the two nearest the orifice larger and more fleshy than the others, linear-oblong, obtuse, 1 1/2 lin. long, the others subulate-lanceolate, all glabrous. Male flowers not seen, but no doubt with only one stamen. Female flowers sessile, their styles united. Gall flowers pedicellate.
