Leaves 3-foliolate, their petioles 9 to 12 cm long. Leaflets

 long, 8 to 9 cm wide, apex shortly acuminate, base broadly 

 rounded, pale-olivaceous when dry, both surfaces equally shining; 

 lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side of the midrib, prominent, the 

 reticulations distinct; petiolules 1.5 to 2 cm long. Flowers not 

 seen, the infructescence at least 20 cm long, subferruginous- 

 pubescent, the mature fruits 3.5 cm long, including the wings 10

 locally known as cabacaba. 



Very characteristic on account of its relatively large leaflets and its 

 very large fruits, the broad long wings being rather remarkable.

A scandent shrub, nearly glabrous (flowers unknown). 

 Leaves 3-foliolate, the petioles about 8 cm long; leaflets broadly 

 ovate, coriaceous, about 11 cm long, slightly acuminate, entire, 

 base rounded or somewhat cordate, pale when dry, the lower 

 surface bearded in the axils; lateral nerves 5 or 6 on each side

 the other one much reduced, 1 to 1.5 cm long and wide and

 comparatively large, 3-winged fruits, the lateral wings very large, the 

 other very much reduced, and the fourth represented by a mere ridge or 

 keel.
