Tree up to 50 m by 165 cm, with large buttresses. Branchlets (¾-)1½-2½ cm diam., angular, glabrescent, leaf-scars large, terminal bud slender, 3-5 cm by 7-9 mm, densely ferrugineously woolly pubescent; pith thick, with many small vascular strands, appressed to the thin wood-cylinder. Stipules none. Leaves often nearly in whorls of four, (3-)4-6-jugate. Leaflets nearly sessile, lanceolate to oblong, 5-28(-33) by (2-)3-10(-12) cm, subcoriaceous, subglabrous above, densely minutely tomentose to sparsely stellately pubescent or nearly glabrous beneath; base rounded to subcordate; margin minutely serrulate (to subentire); apex rather abruptly, shortly acute-acuminate; nerves 20-25 pairs (angle variable), tortuous, more or less distinctly arching towards the margin, prominent beneath; reticulations very dense, waffle-like beneath. Inflorescences (female unknown) axillary, narrowly paniculate, up to 16 cm long, many-flowered, tomentose; flowers in glomerules. Bracts lanceolate to subulate. Flowers (female unknown) 7-9 mm long, pubescent. Calyx 3.5 mm high. Stamens free, glabrous. Disk cupular, 2 mm high, fleshy, densely erectly pilose. Pistil none. Infructescences unknown; calyx with remnants of a 6-lobed, fimbriate disk. Fruits ellipsoid, subtrigonous in cross-section, 7-8.5 by 4.5-6 cm, densely tomentose when young, glabrescent, scurfy; pyrene smooth, with 3 angle-ribs near the apex and often a faint median rib on each of the lids; lids 4-5 mm thick. Seeds (3-)2-1; all cells irregular-shaped, sterile ones slightly or not reduced.
