and fruits densely castaneous-pubescent, the leaflets beneath 
densely ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves about 30 cm long, the 
leaflets usually 7, alternate, coriaceous, oblong-elliptic, somewhat 
acuminate, base rounded, 11 to 18 cm long, 5 to 7 cm wide, the 
upper surface greenish, more or less pubescent with deciduous 
pale hairs; lateral nerves usually 7 on each side of the midrib, 
prominent on the lower surface, anastomosing, the reticulations 
rather lax; petiolules 5 to 8 mm long, densely castaneous-pubes- 
cent. Panicles terminal, in fruit up to 25 cm long, the primary 
branches up to 15 cm long. Fruits compressed, obovate, slightly 
inaequilateral, about 6 cm long and 4 cm wide, externally very 
densely castaneous-pubescent, inside sparingly villous with pale 
hairs.

A species strongly characterized by the dense castaneous indu- 
mentum on the branchlets, petioles, infructescences, and fruits; 
and by the leaflets being densely ferruginous-pubescent on the 
lower surface and reddish-brown in contrast with the green 
upper surface. The indumentum is composed entirely of simple 
hairs.

Frutex scandens, glaber; foliis circiter 10-foliolatis, 8 ad 12 
em longis, foliolis 2 ad 4 em longis, subcoriaceis, ovatis ad ob- 
longo-ellipticis, obtusis vel obscure breviterque acuminatis, basi 
plerumque rotundatis; infructescentiis axillaribus, solitariis, ra- 
cemosis, 8 ad 10 cm longis, fructibus paucis, tenuiter pedicella- 
tis, subaequilateralibus, oblongo-ovoideis, 8 ad 10 mm longis. 
A scandent glabrous shrub, about 3 m high. Leaves 8 to 12 
em long, about 10-foliolate; leaflets subopposite and alternate, 
subcoriaceous, ovate to oblong-elliptic, 2 to 4 cm long, 1.2 to 2.3 
cm wide, base rounded, usually somewhat inequilateral, apex ob- 
tuse to shortly acuminate, both surfaces rather pale when dry, 
shining. Inflorescences axillary, solitary, racemose, 8 to 10 cm 
long, few-flowered. Fruits oblong-ovoid, nearly equilateral, 
acute or slightly apiculate, 8 to 10 mm long, their pedicels 6 to 
10 mm long. Persistent sepals broadly ovate, glabrous, the 
outer ones acute or slightly acuminate, the inner ones broadly 
rounded, about 3.5 mm long.
