A tree aboiit 20 m bigli. Branches light-gray, glabrous, the younger 
ones -more or less densely dark-brown^ or ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves 
2- to 4-jugate, odd pinnate, about 30 cm long, the petiole and rachis 
rather densely pubescent; leaflets elliptieal-oblong to ovate-oblong, coria- 
ceous, shining and glabrous above except on the somewhat pubescent 
midrib, beneath rather strongly pilose on the nerves and reticulations, 
the reticulations rather dense and very prominent, apex acute or short- 
acniTiinate, base cuneate to somewhat rounded, often inequilateral^ margins 
minutely denticulate, 10 to 15 cm hmg, 4 to 8 cm wide; nerves 
very prominent, IG to 20 on each side of the inidrib, spreading, cun^d, 
paralh'l, the reticidations snbparallel ; .petiolnles pubescent, 5 mm long 
or less. Spikes axillary, soliiary, 4 to 10 cm hni-;, nsually densely 
pubescent, stoui, iuaiiy flowered. Flowers sessile, buds globose, each sub- 
tended by two or three ovate basal bractei)1es about 1.5 mm long. ]\rature 
floAvors not seen. Petals three. Stamens six. Sepals in fruit broadly

A species well characterized by its very strongly veined and reticulate leaves 
and gpicate inflorescence. Mature flowers not availablo, and therefore its proper 
section is uncertain. ■
