Information
A shrub or small tree 2–8 m tall, glabrous, monoecious.Twigs reddish-brown and flaking at first, later becoming grey-brown and lenticellate.Leaves petiolate, the petioles 3–5 mm long, adaxially ± flattened; leaf blades (2)3–8(10) × 1–3(5) cm, ovate-lanceolate to ovate-oblong, shortly obtusely or subacutely acuminate at the apex, cuneate to rounded or subtruncate and minutely cordulate at the base, entire or shallowly serrate, usually with 1–2 glands near the base, occasionally also with 1 or 2 near the margin away from the base, but not approaching the apex, firmly chartaceous to thinly coriaceous, dark green and shiny on upper surface, paler and glaucous beneath; lateral nerves in 9–12 pairs, scarcely prominent above or beneath, tertiary nerves coarsely reticulate.Stipules 5–6 mm long, linear-lanceolate, broadened and laciniate at the base, acute, ciliate, soon deciduous.Inflorescences terminal on lateral shoots, leaf-opposed or occasionally axillary, 2–7 cm long, very shortly pedunculate to sessile, all male or with 1 female flower at the base; male bracts 1 mm long, broadly ovate, denticulate-ciliolate, with a discoid gland on each side at the base, many-flowered; female bracts tripartite, larger that the males and somewhat laciniate; bracteoles irregular.Male flowers: pedicels 1 mm long; calyx lobes 3, triangular, irregularly denticulate, yellowish; stamens 3, free, 0.5 mm long.Female flowers: pedicels 3–6 mm long, extending to 10 mm in fruit; calyx lobes 3, broadly triangular, alternating either with sessile discoid glands or lanceolate lacinulae, otherwise as in the males; ovary 2 mm in diameter, 3-lobed, each lobe bearing 2 broadly triangular appendages 1 mm long; styles 3, 7 mm long, connate at the base.Fruit 1–1.5 × 1.5–2 cm, 3-lobed, septicidally dehiscent into 3 bivalved cocci each valve bearing a shortly-conical appendage 2 mm long; exocarp becoming brownish and separating from the 2 mm thick woody endocarp.Seeds 7 × 5 mm, ovoid-ellipsoid, smooth, dull, pale greyish-brown fleckedand spotted with darker brown, ecarunculate.
Habitat
In coastal thickets and forest margins, and in wooded grassland on coastal plain with Afzelia, Sclerocarya, Terminalia, Albizia, Strychnos, Garcinia and Friesodielsia on sandy soil
Altitude range
