    Medium sized tree; stem 2½ feet thick, 45 feet high, branched from the middle; wood hard, whitish on the outside at least, odourless and tasteless; bark smoothish, greyish white mottled; the widely branches covered with grey or whitish lenticels; leaves descending, chartaceous, shining deep green above, much paler green beneath, folded upon the upper side, tips recurved; infrutescence from the second year old leaf axil or twigs rather, ascending; acorns elongated at least 1 inch long; the cup shallow, green and covered with soft yellowish brown hairs.
