Information

A glabrous tree of 30 ft. Extremities minutely punctate-tubercled when dry. Leaves rather coriaceous, oval-oblong, shortly acuminate, more or less rounded or narrowed at the base, minutely dentate-serrulate, especially towards the apex. Peduncles solitary, axillary, at length more or less recurved towards the apex, about 3/4 in. long. Flowers 1 1/2–2 in., glabrous. Sepals apparently 7 (the 2 outermost bracteoles), increasing in size in gradual, broadly imbricating series; inner sepals 3/4 in. long, ovate-anceolate, acute. Petals elongate, linear-oblong, obtuse, at length 3 times longer than the inner sepals, loosely imbricate around the style, not spreading; anthers linear, with a short, truncate-emarginate, terminal apiculus, perfectly glabrous as are the free, subterete, 1-seriate filaments. Ovary 4-celled, gradually tapering into the long slender style, which is apparently articulated below. Stigma obsoletely 4-lobulate. Ovules very numerous. Fruit not seen.
