Tree to 15 m high and c. 38 cm in diam. Stipules intrapetiolar, c. 3.5 mm long, caducous. Leaves 1-or 2-foliolate, when 2 then often not opposite, very shortly petioled; petiole and rachis up to c. 10 mm long, prolonged beyond the upper petiolule into a subulate tip c. 2 mm long. Leaflets firmly chartaceous, elliptic, elliptic-or obovate-oblong, or lanceolate, 9.5-21(-29) by 3.5-7(-9) cm, apex (shortly) acuminate; base acute or obtuse, symmetric; glabrous or rarely sparsely minutely hairy below; nerves 6-9 per side; petiolules short, 2-3.5 mm, glabrous. Inflorescences axillary or sometimes terminal, up to c. 11( — 16) cm long, glabrous, rather loosely flowered; bracts of the peduncle triangular, or 3-lobed with the central lobe relobed and bristle-like, up to c. 5 mm long, glabrous except ciliate at the margins; bracteoles often at the lower half or at the base of the pedicel, minute, triangular, 0.75-1 mm long; pedicels 2-4(-9) mm, articulate at the base, glabrous. Flowers glabrous outside except ciliate at the margin of the calyx lobes, white or yellowish white. Hypanthium c. 1 mm long, sometimes slightly longitudinally ridged outside, sparsely hairy inside. Calyx lobes ovate or broadly elliptic, c. 4 by 2.5-3 mm, glabrous inside. Stamens 10; filaments 4-6 mm (or longer); anthers c. 0.75 mm long. Pistil stipitate; stipe free, 0.75-1 mm long, puberulous; ovary c. 3.5 mm long, 3-or 4-ovuled; style up to c. 10 mm, often slightly hairy at lower half; stigma slightly thicker than the style.
