Bark of the twigs and branches very pale, whitish. Leaflets drying dark, 3 lines 
long, } line wide. Bentham suspects that this is the same as A. robusta, but the 
specimens look different. This has much smaller leaflets, well-marked jugal, large 
petiolar gland, and pale bark. A clavigera, E. Mey., which I have not seen, seems 
to agree better with A. robusta.
