Information
Large shrub or tree up to 15 m. tall. Bark greyish. Branchlets ± densely short-hairy, glabrescent. Leaf-blade (5–)10–18 cm. long, (2.8–)3.5–7 cm. wide, lanceolate or oblong, or subovate-oblong to -elliptic, shortly acuminate or obtuse, base ± oblique, cuneate, or the smaller (sometimes more highly inserted) side broadly cuneate, and the wider one almost rounded, subcoriaceous to coriaceous, firm, glabrous, or fugaciously puberulous on the midrib beneath, with circular and linear pellucid dots, somewhat shining above, entire or undulate, or when young irregularly subserrate-crenulate, with (7–)8–10 pairs of curved lateral veins, these prominent mainly beneath, reticulation rather dense and distinctly raised on both faces; petiole (7–)10–15(–18) mm. long. Flowers greenish white, in dense axillary fascicles or glomerules on a cushion of minute puberulous bracts; pedicels rather slender, puberulous, (l–)2–4 mm. long. Calyx-lobes shortly hairy dorsally or glabrescent, (2–)3 mm. long. Filaments glabrous, or very slightly short-hairy. Anthers glabrous. Fruit ovoid-subglobular or ellipsoid, slightly 5–6-angular, splitting from above into 3–4 longitudinal valves, (1–)1.2–1.6(–1.8) cm. long, 0.9–1.2 cm. in diameter. Fig. 16/B.
