Miqueli^na, Maxim. Tree, attaining 100 ft., with usually an oblong- head: Ivs. ovate, truncate or slightly cordate at base, gradually acuminate, rather coarsely serrate with incurved teeth, i-G in. long: floral bract adnate almost to the base of the peduncle: fr. globose, thick-shelled, 5-ribbed only at the base.
