A tree about 8 m high, the older parts nearly glabrous. 
Branches grayish-puberulent, the yonger parts and the very 
young leaves rather densely so. Leaves alternate, 25 to 40 cm 
long, the petioles and rachis very minutely pubescent; leaflets 
14 to 24, oblong, opposite or subopposite, firmly chartaceous 
or subcoriaceous, 6 to 13 cm long, 2 to 4 cm wide, strongly 
faleate, acuminate, the base very strongly inequilateral, acute, 
the midrib much nearer the lower margin then the upper, the 
upper surface glabrous, shining, the lower a little paler, sparingly 
pubescent, bearded in the axils; lateral nerves 10 to 13 on each 
side of the midrib, distinct, usually forked, obscurely anasto- 
mosing, the reticulations lax, not prominent; petiolules 2 to 3 
mm long. Panicles axillary, solitary, 20 to 25 cm long, 4 to 
7 cm in diameter, the branches 4 cm long or less, rather densely 
many-flowered, slightly pubescent. Flowers 4-merous, greenish-

Corolla glabrous externally, 4-lobed, the lobes 4 to 5 mm long, 
obtuse, recurved in anthesis, the lower one-third to one-half
