Malacca, Griffith. 



This does not appear to have been collected since Griffith originally

 Griffith's original description of it is, in all respects except that of fruit, 

 full and clear.

 9. A tree 20 to 40 feet high. Leaves unequally pinnate, 15 to 20

 Leaflets 11 to 13, opposite or alternate; the terminal larger than 

 the others ; more or less obovate and with a longer petiolule ; lateral 

 leaflets elliptic or elliptic-oblong, slightly oblique, acute or shortly
