Medium-sized trees to 15 cm d.b.h.; younger stems sulcate, densely appressed-puberulent, soon terete, glabrous, weakly shiny, densely covered with rows of whitish lenticels. Leaves pinnately compound, 4-7-foliolate; petioles 2.5-6 cm long; petiole and rachis glabrate to inconspicuously puberulent; petiolules ca. 5 mm long, swollen; leaflets oblong-obovate to oblong-elliptic, rounded to obtuse at the apex, inequilaterally attenuate at the base, one side to 1 cm above the petiole, 3-20 cm long, 1.5-7 cm wide, coarsely serrate, the teeth glandular, often curled inward, the upper surface glabrous, the lower surface sparsely to densely appressed-puberulent on the midrib and reticulate venation, the trichomes spread-ing toward the centers of the areoles, the upper surfaces of the reticulate vena-tion glabrous or only sparsely pubescent, the reticulate veins prominulous. Flow-ers not known but inflorescence probably much like the closely related C. cinerea. Fruits deeply 3-lobed, to 12 mm long and 17 mm wide, truncate to obcordate at the apex, obtuse to truncate at the base, densely and minutely tubercu-late, glabrate to appressed pubescent between the tubercles outside, sparsely woolly within and the surface visible, shiny; seeds 3, globose, shiny, ca. 5 mm diam., arillate at the base.
