obscurissime 3-angulatis, circiter 2 cm longis, in siccitate valde 

 rugosis. 



A tree about 18 m high. Branchlets thickened, about 1 cm 

 in diameter, brown when dry, pubescent with short, reddish- 

 brown hairs. Leaves up to 70 cm in length, the rachis and pe- 

 tioles glabrous, pale-brown when dry. Leaflets lanceolate to 

 oblong-lanceolate, coriaceous, entire, 20 to 25 cm long, 4 to 5 

 cm wide, the upper surface pale, shining, the lower ferruginous- 

 pubescent with short hairs on the midrib, nerves, and very prom- 

 inent reticulations, the base rounded to subacute, nearly equi- 

 lateral, the apex slenderly caudate-acuminate, the acumen up to 

 2 cm long, blunt; lateral nerves 18 to 20 on each side of the 

 midrib, very prominent on the lower surface, curved-anastomos- 

 ing, the reticulations very prominent; petiolules glabrous or 

 slightly pubescent, rugose, 3 to 8 mm long. Infructescence race- 

 mose, axillary, solitary, rather stout, about 20 cm long, rather 

 densely ferruginous-pubescent with short hairs, the rachis 4 

 to 5 mm in diameter. Fruits numerous, on stout peduncles 8 

 mm long or less, the lower peduncles rarely branched, the per- 

 sistent calyx-lobes 3, coriaceous, ovate, obtuse, about 4 mm long, 

 the fruits rather pale when dry, glabrous, or with few scattered 

 hairs, ovoid to ellipsoid, about 2 cm long, 1.3 cm in diameter, 

 obtuse, obscurely 3-angled, the pericarp very prominently wrin- 

 kled when dry.

A species well characterized by its long leaves, and especially by its 

 elongated, relatively narrow, caudate-acuminate leaflets which are very 

 prominently reticulate beneath.
