Information

A small tree to 9 m high.Bark smooth, dark.Twigs greyish-brown.Petioles 0.5–1(1.5) cm long, abaxially pulvinate at both apex and base, geniculate, pubescent.Leaf blade 5–17 × 2–6(7) cm, elliptic to elliptic-oblanceolate, acuminate apically, cuneate at the base, shallowly and somewhat remotely crenate-serrate to subentire on the margins, chartaceous, glabrous on upper surface, sparingly pubescent only along the midrib and main nerves beneath, with a few scattered glands beneath, red, pink or mauve at first, later dark green; lateral nerves in (10)12–16(18) pairs, slightly prominent, tertiary nerves closely parallel.Stipules 6–8 mm long, linear-lanceolate, appressed-pubescent.Male inflorescences 0.6–3 cm long, racemose or subpaniculate; bracts 1 mm long, ovate, subacute; bracteoles minute; axis pubescent.Male flowers: pedicels 1.5 mm long; buds 1.5 mm long; calyx lobes ovate, yellow; stamens c. 1 mm long, anthers minute.Female inflorescences 5–12 cm long, peduncle up to 2 cm long.Female flowers: pedicels c. 1 mm long; sepals 5, 3 mm long, elliptic-ovate, obtuse, pubescent, white; disk c. 2 mm in diameter; ovary 3 mm in diameter, rounded-trigonous, somewhat verruculose, densely pubescent; styles 3 mm long, the segments linear, pubescent abaxially.Fruit 7–18 mm × c. 1.5 cm, 3-lobed, or 2-lobed by abortion, the lobes subglobose, slightly roughened, evenly pubescent, light green or pinkish.Young seeds round, green.
