Trees to 25 m tall, 1.5 m d.b.h., glabrate. Adult leaves mostly pinnate; usually some simple leaves present immediately below conflorescence. Pinnate leaves with 2-11 leaflets, 10-50 cm long. Simple leaves (and leaflets) sessile or petiol(ul)ate, narrowly elliptic, 8-23 cm long, 1-5 cm wide, tapered to both ends; venation of terminal leaflets and simple leaves eucamptodromous, that of lateral leaflets brochidodromous. Intermediate leaves pinnate or pinnatisect. Conflorescence open (raceme-like) to rather condensed (corymb-like), 50-140-flowered, not aggregated; bracts subulate to (lower down the rachis) leaf-like. Flowers pink or crimson; tepals 3-3.8 cm long; pedicels 3-6 cm long. Body of follicle 5-9 cm long.
Grows on mountain slopes and plateaus, at 700-1250 m alt., in soils derived from sedimentary rocks, metasediments or volcanics, in warm-temperate rainforest (e.g., dominated by Ceratopetalum apetalum or Nothofagus moorei ), rarely in wet eucalypt forest.
