Tall tree, to 100 ft.: lvs. petioled, oblong- lanceolate, elliptic or oblong-obovate. acuminate or obtuse, about 4 in. long, grayish velutinous or nearly glabrous beneath, lightly very many-nerved: pedicels 10 or more, somewhat shorter than the petioles: calyx-lobes or sepals 6, grayish velutinous on the back; corolla- lobes 6 or 8 and more, the exterior ones 2- lobed or -parted and denticulate; stamens 6 or 8; staminodes lobed or denticulate; ovary 8 -10 - celled: berry ovoid, about 1 in. long. W. Indies and S.—It is a variable species, with a number of named botanical varieties in the W. Indies. The M. globosa of lists probably belongs here.
