A medium sized evergreen tree that grows up to 10 meters in length. The leaves are oblong-obovate in shape with an acute or cuneate base and acuminate or cuspidate apex., coriaceous or leathery but glabrous on both sides, distinctive orange midrib when dry. Staminate flowers are cymose, pubescent exterior and glabrous interior, urceolate or ovoid in shape. Likewise, pistillate flowers can either be solitary or cymose too, its exterior is also pubescent while the exterior remains glabrous, the ovaries are superior, ovoid, and tomentose . The fruit is globose and tomentose with a crustaceous yet glabrous pericarp, rounded base, rounded but slightly cuspidate apex. Also called Hinla-ata in Sibuyan island, this tree was once used as firewood and charcoal before Mt. Guiting-guiting was declared a natural park. The wood is used in parts of light-material houses, logging skids, and handles of agricultural tools. Its strong and light colored wood is used for golf club heads and similar items. The seeds are recalcitrant, which means it needs to be sown immediately. The fallen mature fruit can be planted straight into potting media.
