A tree^ glabrous throughout. Branches terete, brown, densely lenticel- 
late. Leaves pinnate, 20 to 30 cm long: leaflets 5, oblong or elliptical- 
oblong, 7 to 14 cm long, 3 to 4 cm wide,.fii*nilj coriaceous, the upper 
surface very shiny, the lower slightly paler and somewhat sliining, densely 
punctate-glandular, the base acute, the apex obtuse or shortly and ob- 
scurely blunt-acuminate, the margins rather strongly recurved; nerves 
about 13 on each side of the midrib, anastomosing, slightly more distinct 
than are the rather lax reticulations ; petiolules of the lateral leaflets about

A very characteristic species, not only in its simply pinnate leaves and very 
coriaceous leaflets, but also in its cleft and strongly ridged calyx. It is the only 
known Philippine species possessing the latter character.
