Attractive leafy tree, 30-40 ft., the trunk sometimes more than 2 ft. diam.: lvs. to 8 in. long, elliptic-oblong or oblong-ovate, with a short stout petiole, margins slightly recurved, suggesting those of Magnolia grandiflora: fls. very small, greenish or whitish, short-pedicelled, in a terminal branched panicle; petals concave, little exceeding the calyx-lobes: drupe 1½ in. or less long, orange-colored, fleshy, plum-like.
