Shrubs or trees up to 15(-20) m tall; young branches pubescent; glabrescent. Stipules linear to lanceolate; 2-7(-13) x 0.5-1.5 mm; pubescent; caducous or persistent; petiole 2-10(-20) mm; pubescent; glabrescent; leaf blade elliptic; oblong; lanceolate; or linear; more rarely slightly ovate or obovate; (1.5-)3-25 x (0.4-)1.5-10 cm; membranous to leathery; glabrous except midvein and lateral veins pubescent on one or both surfaces; sometimes pubescent along margin; rarely abaxially slightly pubescent throughout; shiny and drying olive green to grayish green on both sides; often lighter abaxially; base acute or obtuse; rarely rounded; apex acuminate; acute; or obtuse; mucronate or not; domatia sometimes present; major veins impressed or flat adaxially; lateral veins 6-12 pairs; tertiary venation weakly percurrent or reticulate. Inflorescences axillary or terminal; males 1-13 cm; unbranched to 10(-40)-branched; females 1-10 cm; unbranched to 6-branched; fruiting 2.5-20 cm; axes glabrous or pubescent. Male flowers sessile to pedicellate; pedicels to 1.5(-2) mm; glabrous to pubescent; calyx shallowly cup-shaped; sepals 3 or 4(or 5); free to fused for ca. 1/2 of their length; 0.5-0.8 mm; broadly ovate or rounded to obtuse; rarely acute; pubescent to glabrous outside; glabrous inside but often with long hairs at base; margin usually glandular-fimbriate to lacerate; disk cushion-shaped; fully or partially enclosing bases of filaments and pistillode or annular and 3-5-lobed; lobes extending inward between filaments to pistillode; glabrous; very rarely with some hairs; stamens 3-5(or 6); 1-2 mm; rudimentary ovary clavate; hemispheric; or terete; apex obtuse; sometimes obscurely lobed. Female flowers: pedicel 0.2-1.5 mm; fruiting 1-4 mm; glabrous to pubescent; calyx cup-shaped; sepals 3-5(or 6); 0.3-1 mm; triangular to ovate; otherwise as in males; disk glabrous; very rarely with some hairs; ovary glabrous; very rarely with some hairs; stigmas 2-6. Drupes ellipsoid; terete; (3-)5-6(-8) x 2.5-4(-6) mm; glabrous; styles terminal; very rarely slightly subterminal.
Forests; along rivers; 100-1500 m. Guangdong; Guangxi; Guizhou; Hainan; Hunan; Sichuan; Taiwan; Xizang; Yunnan [Bangladesh; Bhutan; Cambodia; India; Indonesia; Japan; Laos; Malaysia; Myanmar; Philippines; Thailand; Vietnam; Australia].
