Alternate eaves, with 2-3cm petioles, set themselves on branch tips;
blades measure 8-18cm long, 4-8cm wide, long oblong or oval-like
oblong, with entire margins and prominent three veins. Young leaves
droop and both surfaces are sericeous all through. The back surfaces
look gray-white with a waxy substance. Dioecious: Small yellow-brown
flowers bear at the sides of the leaves, gathering together.
Involucral bracts are long and oblong-shaped. Bloom time:
October-November. Fruit (sap fruit) matures. |
