A large, in places a small, deciduous monoecious tree, often gregarious, wood 

 pink-grey with a satiny lustre on the radial section. Branchlets, petioles and 

 underside of 1. from glabrous or slightly hairy to densely tomentose, usually 

 with numerous shining orbicular glands. L. as a rule paripinnate (by abor- 

 tion of the terminal leaflet), leaflets 6-14, sessile or shortly petiolulate, nearly 

 opposite, 3-10 in. long, usually entire, in young plants serrate. <$ fl. in 

 slender often panicled catkins, 3-7 in. long, from the previous year's wood. 

 Perianth of 4 T 5 variously shaped scales, adnate to a generally 3-lobed bract. 

 Anthers 4-12, hispid, mucronate, nearly sessile, inserted on the upper surface 

 of the bract. $ fl. in bracteate pendulous spikes 6-12 in. long, often in the 

 same panicle with the $ catkins. Bracts cup-shaped, with 3 large unequal 

 lobes enclosing the base of the glabrous or hairy calyx, which is adnate to the 

 ovary, limb 4-dentate, petals 0, style divided into 2-4 densely papillose 

 branches. Fr. a small globose, coriaceous, 1-seeded nut, adnate to the greatly 

 enlarged scarious reticulate 3-lobed bract, the base of which is densely 

 tomentose with long hairs, lobes spathulate-oblong, obtuse, with a conspicuous 

 midrib, the middle one 1-1^ in. long, the 2 lateral half that length. Cotyledons 

 foliaceous, much folded and twisted.
