young, glabrescent, with conspicuous small lenticels. Leaves with stipules lanceolate, acute,
to 25 mm long, caducous, membranous, densely appressed tomentellous on exterior, glabrous
within; petiole thick, 4–7 mm long, tomentellous when young, with 2 small round glands
above on midpoint; lamina coriaceous, elliptic, 9–17 × 5–8 cm, glabrous above, with dense
conspicuous stomatal crypts beneath, bluntly acuminate at apex with tip 3–6 mm long,
rounded at base; midrib plane or impressed above, prominent and pilose, glabrescent beneath;
primary veins 20–28 pairs, slightly impressed on upper portion, prominulous on proximal
portion of upper surface, straight, erect, parallel; secondary veins ±parallel. Flowers not
seen. Infructescence axillary, 3–5 cm long. Fruit irregularly ellipsoid, 6.5 × 4 cm; epicarp
