Description:
Species Description - Shrub or tree, to 10 m tall. Leafy twigs 1-4 mm thick, puberulous. Lamina oblong to lanceolate or to elliptic, 4-12(-24) × 1-4.5(-6) cm, usually broadest at the middle, equilateral to slightly inequilateral, coriaceous; apex acuminate, the acumen spinulose; base (acute to) obtuse to rounded; margin spinulose-dentate; upper surface glabrous; lower surface sparsely puberulous on the main veins, the globose-capitate, pluricellular hairs (very) sparse; venation almost plane or the midrib slightly impressed above, ± prominent beneath; lateral veins 8-4(-18) pairs; tertiary venation reticulate or partly scalariform; petiole 0.3-1 cm long, 1-2.5 mm thick, puberulous; stipules 0.3-1 cm long, puberulous to glabrous, caducous or subpersistent. Staminate inflorescences patent to pendulous, 0.5-2 cm long; peduncle 0.1-0.3 cm long, puberulous; rachis puberulous; flowers more or less crowded; pedicel to 1.5(-3) mm long; tepals almost free, ca. 1.2 mm long, entirely membranaceous, minutely puberulous, ciliolate, spreading horizontally to reflexed at anthesis; stamens 4, (almost) free, bent outwards at anthesis; filaments 0.8-1 mm long; anthers ca. 1 × 0.8-1 mm, slightly smaller than the tepals, the connective broad. Pistillate inflorescences patent (pendulous? in fruit), 1-5 cm long, to 6 cm long in fruit; peduncle 0.5-2 cm long, to 3 cm long in fruit, puberulous; rachis puberulous, red in fruit; flowers 3-15 (often reflexed in fruiting state); subsessile or pedicellate; pedicel to 0.3 cm long, puberulous, to 1.8 cm long, carnose, red and smooth or ± muriculate in fruit; perianth ca. 2 mm long, 4-lobed, puberulous, the upper part conical to narrowly ovoid; style often exceeding the perianth; stigmas narrowly tongue-shaped (0.5-)1-2.2 mm long, reflexed, finely papillate. Fruiting perianth globose to ovoid to ellipsoid, 0.6-1.2 × 0.6-0.9 cm, apiculate, red, finally black, the surface smooth, muric(ul)-ate, verruculate, or ± wrinkled, minutely puberulous.
