Description

Elaeocarpus sericopetalus is a tree that typically grows to a height of Шаблон:Cvt, sometimes with buttress roots and with relatively large lenticels. The leaves are more or less clustered near the ends of the branchlets, oblong to elliptic, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers are creamy-white, borne in groups of up to eight on a rachis up to Шаблон:Cvt long, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The flowers have five egg-shaped sepals Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide. The five petals are oblong, slightly longer than, but narrower than the sepals, sometimes with two or three notches on the end and there are about fifty stamens. Flowering mainly in December and the fruit is a deep red to almost black drupe about Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide.[2][3]
