Trees 10(-20) m tall; evergreen. Young branchlets pale brown stellate tomentose. Petiole 2-5 mm; sometimes nearly sessile; leaf blade elliptic to obovate; 2.5-7 x 1.5-3.5 cm; densely with reddish brown to orangish brown glandular hairs (especially abaxially on midvein) when young; abaxially with slender reddish brown to orangish brown stellate hairs and simple hairs or mealy scurfy scalelike trichomes with age; adaxially glabrescent but pubescent along midvein; base rounded to shallowly cordate; margin entire or with spiniform teeth; apex obtuse; midvein apically flexuous; secondary veins 6-8 on each side of midvein; tertiary veins abaxially obscure. Female inflorescences 0.5-2.5 cm; cupules 1-4. Cupule shallowly cupular; 5-6 cm x 0.9-1.2 cm; covering base of nut; outside gray pubescent; inside densely tomentose; bracts ovate-elliptic to lanceolate; apex obtuse and often free from cupule wall. Nut ovoid to narrowly so; 1.2-2 x 1-1.5 cm; glabrous. Fl. May-Jun; fr. Sep-Oct.
