Arbor 20 ad 25 m alta, ramulis paniculisque densissime badio-lepidotis, 
subnitentibus ; foliis alternis, imparipinnatis, 4- vel 5-jugatis, 20 ad 25

A tree 20 to 25 m high the branches, petioles and intloresence 
somewhat shining, minutely and very densely brown-lepidote. Leaves 
alternate, odd-pinnate, 4- or 5-jugate, 20 to 25 cm long, the rachis and 
petiolules minutely and densely lepiclote; leaflets opposite, brown when 
dry, chartaceous, oblong to elliptic-oblong, somewhat shining, deciduously 
lepidote on both surfaces, 5 to 10 cm long, 2.5 to 4.5 cm wide, the 
terminal one sometimes larger, equilateral, the lateral ones somewhat 
inequilateral; nerves 10 to 12 on each side of the midrib, not prominent, 
the reticulations fine, rather lax ; petiolules 8 mm long or less. Panicles 
axillary, peduneled, nearly as long as the leaves, branched in the upper 
two-thirds, the rachis, branches, branchlets and calyces minutely and 
densely brown-lepidote, shining, the lower primary branches 7 cm long, 
the upper ones shorter. Flowers minute, raeemosely arranged on the 
ultimate branchlets, their pedicels 1 to 2 mm long. Calyx about 1 mm 
long, densely lepidote, its teeth broad, rounded. Petals about 1 mm long,
