Information

Tree up to 27 m. high. Branchlets glabrous, soon covered with pale elliptic lenticels. Leaf-blade persistent, elliptic or broad-oblong, shortly obtusely acuminate, base cuneate to the petiole, subcoriaceous, glabrous, shining, subentire to very shallowly glandular-crenate, 5–8 cm. long, (2–)2.5–4 cm. wide; lateral veins in 4(–5) curved pairs, raised on both faces as is the dense reticulation; petiole 3–5 mm. long. Racemes solitary from the axils of the upper leaves, rather densely flowered in their upper 2/3 part, 6–9 cm. long; rhachis slender, subglabrous. Flowers solitary or 2 in a fascicle, 6(–7)-merous, white, shortly pubescent. Pedicels very slender, 1.5–2.5(–4) mm. long. Calyx-tube funnel-shaped in the upper ovuliferous part for 1.5–2.5 mm., rather abruptly narrowed downwards to a pedicel-like slender stipe for 4–5 mm. Sepals narrowly deltoid, subacute, 2 mm. long, hardly accrescent. Petals oblong-spathulate, puberulous on both faces, ciliolate, 6–8 mm. long and ± 2 mm. wide after flowering (perhaps a little longer in mature fruit). Filaments subglabrous or laxly patently hairy. Glands laxly hairy. Upper conical part of the ovary densely hairy; styles 3, connate for 1–1.5 mm. and hairy below, free for 1–1.5 mm. distally and glabrous but for the tips.
