Small tree 6–12 m high, with a narrowly spreading crown; bole up to 30 cm in cir-cumference. Inner bark green; sapwood pale yellow, fibrous, with a strong odour. Twigs densely covered with dark reddish–brown or orange brown shiny peltate scales which have an irregular or fimbriate margin and dark centre and margin with a paler band in between. Leaves 15–49 cm long, 20–46 cm wide; petiole (3–)4–13 cm, petiole, rachis and petiolules densely covered with scales like those on the twigs. Leaflets 1–5(–7), 7–26 by 3–10 cm, often pale green above when dry, cuneate at the base, acuminate at apex, with numerous scales like those on the twigs on the midrib and few on the lateral veins below, with numerous dark reddish–brown peltate scales and usually some paler stellate scales in between, with numerous pits on the rest of that surface, veins 9–25 on each side of the midrib; petiolules 5–10(–25) mm. Inflorescence 7–18 cm long and 5–28 cm wide; peduncle 1–3 cm, with scales like those on the twigs. Flower 2–4 mm long, 1.5–4 mm wide; pedicels 1–3 mm, pedicel and calyx with few to densely covered with scales like those on the twigs. Petals 5 (or 6). Staminal tube 1.5–2.5 mm long, 1–2 mm wide, deeply cup–shaped, anthers 5, 0.7–1.2 mm long and 0.5–0.8 mm wide, ovoid, inserted on the margin of the tube, the outer surface of the anther continuous with the outer surface of the tube, densely covered with simple yellow hairs along the margins of the anthers with pale yellow simple or stellate hairs on the lower part of the staminal tube inside. Infructescence 3–11 cm long, with 1 or 2 fruits, sessile. Fruits 1.3–3.2 cm long, 1.4–2 cm wide, subglobose or narrowly ellipsoid and narrowed to a short stipe c. 5 mm long, orange, orange–brown or yellow densely covered with scales like those on the twigs on the outside; pericarp thin; fruitstalks c. 1 cm. Locules 2 each containing 0–1 seed. Seed c. 2.5 cm long, 1 cm wide and 1 cm thick, surrounded by a thin dark translucent aril; testa brown or black.

Grows in stony loams and deep alluvial soil derived from a mixture of metamorphic rocks and granite. Found in semi-deciduous mesophyll vine forest, monsoon forest, araucarian semi-evergreen vine forest, riverine gallery forest and occasionally in flood plain rainforest.
