Description
It is a tree reaching 9 meters in height. The young, yellow-brown to dark brown branches are densely covered in hairs. Its elliptical, slightly leathery leaves are 18–31.5 by 6-12 centimeters. The leaves have slightly wedge-shaped bases and tapering tips, with the tapering portion 5-18 millimeters long. The leaves are hairless on their upper and lower surfaces. The leaves have 14-22 pairs of secondary veins emanating from their midribs. Its very densely hairy petioles are 3-10 by 2-4 millimeters with a broad groove on their upper side. Its Inflorescences occur alone or in pairs on branches, and are organized on densely hairy peduncles that are 2.5-5 by 0.4-1 millimeters. Each inflorescence has up to 5 flower. Each flower is on a very densely hairy pedicel that is 9-20 by 0.4-0.7 millimeters. The pedicels are organized on a rachis up to 10 millimeters long that have 4-10 bracts. The pedicels have a medial, densely hairy bract that is 0.5-2 millimeters long. Its flowers are unisexual. Its flowers have 3 oval sepals, that are 0.7-1.5 by 1.2 millimeters. The sepals are hairless on their upper surface, densely hairy on their lower surface, and hairy at their margins. Its 6 petals are arranged in two rows of 3. The dark red, oval, outer petals are 1.5-3 by 2-3 millimeters with hairless upper and sparsely hairy lower surfaces. The dark red, heart-shaped inner petals have a 1.5-4 millimeter long claw at their base and a 4.5-7 by 3-5 millimeter blade. The inner petals have slightly heart-shaped bases and pointed tips. The inner petals are sparsely hairy on their upper and lower surfaces. The inner petals have a solitary, diamond-shaped, smooth, slightly raised gland on their upper surface. Male flowers have up to 60-68 stamens that are 0.7-1.1 by 0.5-0.7 millimeters. Female flowers have 7-9 carpels that are 1.4-1.6 by 0.7-0.8 millimeters. Each carpel has 3-5 ovules arranged in two rows. The female flowers have 4-8 sterile stamens. The fruit occur in clusters of 5-7 arranged on densely to sparsely hairy peduncles that are 2-10 by 1-3 millimeters. The individual fruit are attached by densely to slightly hairy pedicles that are 15-25 by 1–2.5 millimeters. The gray-green, fruit are globe-shaped and 12-19 by 11-16 millimeters. The fruit are wrinkly, and very densely hairy. Each fruit has up to 3-5 hemispherical to lens-shaped seeds that are 11-12 by 7-10 by 5-7 millimeters, arranged in two rows. The seeds are smooth.
