cences and fruits densely and uniformly stellate-tomentose with 

 short, more or less spreading, cupreous hairs. Leaves alternate, 

 12 to 25 cm long ; leaflets 7 to 10, alternate or opposite, lanceolate, 

 subolivaceous or brownish-olivaceous when dry, somewhat shin- 

 ing, 4 to 7 cm long, 1 to 2 cm wide, subequally narrowed to the 

 acute, somewhat inequilateral base and to the acuminate apex, 

 chartaceous or subcoriaceous, glabrous except the midrib on 

 the lower surface; lateral nerves 7 to 10 on each side of the 

 midrib, slender, curved, anastomosing; petiolules 2 to 3 mm 

 long, densely pubescent. Infructescences axillary, solitary, all 

 parts densely cupreous-pubescent, the rather stout rachis 1 to 

 1.5 cm long, the infructescence reduced to a simple raceme. 

 Fruits ellipsoid, 1.5 cm long, few, very densely cupreous- 

 pubescent.

A species well characterized by its lanceolate, small leaflets, its dense 

 cupreous indumentum, and especially by its very short infructescences, 

 which, including the ellipsoid fruits, scarcely exceed 2 cm in length.

A tree about 8 m high, the young branchlets, petioles, 

 inflorescences, and midrib on both surfaces of the leaflets 

 densely subcastaneous-stellate-tomentose. Branches terete, 

 brown, about 7 mm in diameter, tomentose. Leaves alternate, 

 about 65 cm long. Leaflets 7, the lateral ones opposite, oblong- 

 elliptic, chartaceous, broMmish-olivaceous when dry, 25 to 29 

 cm long, 9.5 to 11 cm wide, the upper surface glabrous except 

 for the stellate-tomentose midrib, the lower stellate-tomentose 

 on the midrib and to a less degree on the lateral nerves, the 

 base obtuse to rounded or subcordate, the apex shortly and 

 abruptly acuminate ; lateral nerves 15 to 20 on each side of the 

 midrib, distinct, anastomosing, the reticulations lax, indistinct;
