Flowers light green to yellowish, 4-5 mm in diam., bisexual, 5-merous, in terminal or axillary cymes. Pedicel 1-2 mm. Calyx tube shallowly hemispherical, outside densely brownish pubescent; sepals triangular, ca. 1.5 mm, adaxially ± distinctly keeled. Petals erect to recurved, spatulate, ca. as long as stamens, clawed. Disk pentagonous, shallow, lining calyx tube, glandular. Ovary obconical, ± completely immersed in disk, 2- or 3-loculed; style
conical, nearly to half divided into 2 or 3 slightly capitate stylar branches. Drupe greenish when young, black at maturity, globose to broadly ovoid, 1-1.2(-1.4) cm in diam., basally surrounded by persistent calyx tube; exocarp irregularly dehiscent, with 2 or 3 woody locules, along ventral suture dehiscent at maturity, locules 1-seeded; fruiting pedicel 3-4 mm. Seeds red, shiny, with membranous aril, often permanently attached to receptacle after fruit dehiscence. Fl. Oct-Dec, fr. Mar-May of following year.
Sparse forests on mountains and hills; middle elevations. Hainan [Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines].
The trees grow rapidly when young. This species is a good source of fine wood for making furniture.
