A medium-sized tree, glabrous except the Sere Leaves 
opposite, on rather slender petioles of 3-14 in. (1-9-3-8 cm.). Leaflets 
usually 5, ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, oblique and rounded or occasion- 
ally somewhat contracted at the base, the lateral ones on short petiolules 
of 1-2 lines (2-4 mm.) and the terminal ones on petiolules of 3-5 lines 
(6-10 mm.), margins serrulate with rather distant teeth, under surface 
with the lateral nerves and reticulations more prominent than above 
and with minute tufts of hair in the axils of the lateral nerves towards 
the base, 14-3 in. (3-9-7-8 em.) long, 3-14 in. (2-3-2 em.) broad. Panicles 
terminal or in the upper axils, densely ferruginous-pubescent, compound, 
broad, and mostly as long as or longer than the leaves. Flowers very 
small, on short pedicels of $ line (1 mm.) or less. Calyx pubescent at 
the base, deeply divided into 5 ovate lobes, the lobes about } line 
(1 mm.) or less in length. Petals lanceolate, as long as or slightly 
exceeding the calyx-lobes. Stamens 1-1} line (2-3 mm.) long, with 
minute cordate anthers and slender filaments. Disk crenate. Ovary 
pubescent, 4- or occasionally 3- or 5-lobed and with a corresponding 
Oo 
Capsules 4-3 line (1-1-5 mm.) long, with 4 or occasionally 3 or 5 valves
