 included.

Arbor circiter 8 m alta, ramulis petiolis inflorescentiisque 

 plus minusve ciliato-lepidotis ; foHis alternis, circiter 30 cm longis, 

 imparipinnatis, foliolis utrinque 5, lanceolatis, subcoriaceis, us- 

 que ad 11 cm longis, acuminatis, basi valde inaequilateralibus, 

 subtus ad costa plus minusve ciliato-lepidotis; paniculis axilla- 

 ribus, circiter 12 cm longis; floribus 5-meris, sessihbus vel sub- 

 sessilibus, spicatim dispositis; petalis liberis. 



A tree about 8 m high. Branches terete, glabrous, lenticellate, 

 brownish, the younger parts more or less covered with minute, 

 ciliate, lepidote scales, pale-brownish in color. Leaves alternate, 

 about 30 cm long, the petioles, rachis, and petiolules densely 

 covered with small, brownish, lepidote-ciliate scales. Leaflets 

 usually 11, lanceolate, subcoriaceous, rather pale and of about 

 the same color on both surfaces when dry, slightly shining above, 

 9 to 11 cm long, 2 to 3 cm wide, the apex prominently acuminate, 

 the acumen blunt, the base strongly inequilateral, acuminate; 

 nerves about 12 on each side of the midrib, slender, not prom- 

 inent; petiolules about 1 cm long, that of the terminal leaflet 

 about 1.5 cm long. Panicles axillary, ciliate-lepidote, about 12 

 cm long, branched from just above the base, the primary branches 

 up to 7 cm in length. Flowers spicately disposed on the ultimate 

 branchlets, sessile or subsessile, not at all crowded. Calyx 

 densely ciliate-lepidote, the teeth 5, ovate, obtuse, ciliate, less 

 than 0.5 mm long. Petals 5, glabrous, free from the staminal 

 tube, oblong, obtuse, 1.5 to 1.8 mm long (just before anthesis). 

 Staminal tube very short, glabrous, 1 mm long or less, truncate.
