T. ramulis dense brunneo-pubescentibus, foliis pinnatis longe petiolatis, 

 foliolis 23-27 oblongis acutis serratis subcoriaceis facie parce dorso dense 

 pubescentibus, floribus in paniculani deltoideam dispositis, sepalis ovatis 

 pilosis, petalis oblongis, ovario turbinato obscure piloso. 



A tree, with the branchlets, peduncles, and leaf-rhachises 

 densely clothed with short brown velvety pubescence. Petiole 

 3-4 in. long; lamina a foot long ; leaflets 3-4 in. long, an inch 

 broad, oblique at the base, distinctly serrated and stalked, 

 obscurely pilose and green on the upper surface, brown-velvety 

 especially on the raised very numerous main ribs beneath. 

 Panicle half as long as the leaves, the lower branches compound ; 

 peduncle equalling the petiole. Calyx campanulate, \ line long, 

 densely pilose. Petals and stamens twice as long as the sepals. 

 Ovary turbinate, black, pilose, seated on a thick disk and nar-

 sexes in a dense terminal panicle, with pubescent branches ; 

 pedicel pubescent ; bracts liuear, persistent. Sepals lanceolate,
