Information
Shrubs or trees up to 10 m., much branched, deciduous; branchlets brown tomentose or velutinous. Leaf-blades broadly oblong, elliptic or subovate-elliptic, top subrotund (or shortly and bluntly attenuate), base broadly cuneate or subrotund, asymmetrical, (5–)8–12 by (2.5–)4.5–6(–7) cm., chartaceous, above on midrib and nerves yellowish hairy, scabrous to the touch, beneath pilose (particularly on the nerves) to tomentose, margin inconspicuously dentate or subentire; nerves ± prominent beneath, venation loosely reticulate; lateral nerves 5–7 pairs, upward curved; petiole 5–6 mm. Inflorescences 3–5-flowered fascicles in the axils of fallen leaves, often aggregated into pseudopanicles up to 32 cm. long and wide; bracts cucullate, ± caducous. Flowers precocious, yellowish tomentose, fragrant; pedicels slender, 6–8(–9) mm. Sepals oblong, silky yellow pilose outside, glabrous inside, 6–8 by ± 3.5 mm. Petals oblong, yellowish white, 7–8(–10) by 3 mm., glabrous. Corona in total ± 2 mm. high, composed of threads connate for two-thirds into a glabrous tube, free parts brown pilose. Filaments 6–7 mm.; anthers 2–3 mm. Ovary subglabrous, soon becoming ± pilose; gynophore 1–1.5 mm.; styles slender, glabrous, 1–1.5 mm.
