Information
A tree of 40 ft. with terete branches. Leaves oblong-elliptical or slightly ovate-oblong, more or less contracted to the acuminate or apiculate apex, rounded or sometimes subcordate at the base, with a prominent midrib beneath and numerous parallel scarcely prominent lateral veins, 4–6 in. long, 1 1/2–2 1/2 in. broad; petiole 1/3– 1/2 in. Flowers rather numerous, about 1 1/2 in. diam., in terminal rather umbellate racemes or subpaniculate, the leafy axis sometimes produced beyond the inflorescence; peduncles stout, 1 1/2–2 in. long, 1–3 together, from the axils of the uppermost reduced leaves. Sepals coriaceous, orbicular, concave, the outermost much smaller than the inner and sometimes slightly lower than the rest. Petals obovate-cuneate, twice as long as the inner sepals and exceeding the phalanges in the male flower. Anthers closely crowded on the upper face of the cuneate-spathulate phalanges towards the apex. Stigma about 1/4 in. broad.
