A tall tree, probably evergreen, up to 25 m. high. Branchlets pubescent. Leaves coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, up to 8 × 2.8 cm., acuminate to caudate-acuminate, basally cuneate or rounded, matt on both faces or somewhat shining above, glabrous except the midrib beneath which is pubescent with rather long hairs, clearly reticulately nerved but especially markedly so beneath; the midrib of the under-surface very prominent but the primary nerves rather less so than in the preceding species. Inflorescences not seen. Flowers imperfectly known. Calyx-tube 11 m. long, apparently neither unilaterally gibbous nor abruptly enlarged at the base, slightly expanded above, deeply grooved in the upper part, thickly velutinous; the lobes eglandular, ± 5 mm. long. Stamens 8 mm. (? or more) long, orientated as in the preceding species, and the staminodes likewise. Fruit oblong-ovoid, obtuse, basally narrowed, up to 3.5 × 1.8 cm.; pericarp green, minutely pubescent outside, lanate within. Seed 1, red, with scattered surface hairs.
