Information
A large shrub; young branchlets subterete, glabrous. Leaves oblong-elliptic or elliptic-lanceolate, acutely caudate-acuminate, rounded and one side of the blade produced slightly below the other at the base, 2–5 in. long, 1–2 1/2 in. broad, chartaceous, glabrous and somewhat dull on both surfaces, margin minutely and obtusely denticulate; lateral nerves 5–8 on each side, looped and anastomosing well within the margin, prominent below; tertiary nerves close, spreading from the midrib to the lateral nerves, prominent below; petiole 1–2 lin. long, glabrous; stipules very small, deciduous. Flowers diœcious, males geminate or solitary in the leaf-axils of the young shoots; pedicel drooping, very slender, 2–3 in. long, glabrous. Sepals 5, suborbicular, 2 1/2 lin. in diam., coriaceous, glabrous on both surfaces, margin shortly ciliolate. Disk fleshy, much lobed over the surface, lobes pubescent and encircling the base of each filament, simulating a small perianth. Stamens about 25, inserted amongst the lobes of the disk; filaments glabrous; anthers oblong, cordate at the base, 1 lin. long. Female flowers not known.
