Tree 10 m. tall, 50 cm. in diameter at the base,
branched from near base, the stems often fluted, with
smooth, dark gray bark. Inflorescences abundant, hanging,
on all but the most shaded branches, pendant, with bracts
nearly leaf-green, but somewhat more yellow-green, the
bracts 12-15 pairs on the sunny twigs, but the partly shaded
twigs may have only 5-6 pairs of bracts; some of most
vigorous inflorescences with a few nodes with a vestigial 3rd
fruit or this may even be fully developed. Tree very similar
in most ways to no. Nee 58116 from the same source and
the same age.
