Tree, 12-30 m by 20-100 cm, with up to 2½ m high buttresses which are 1½ m spreading. Branchlets 4-8 mm thick, the tips ferrugineous-tomentose; terminal bud 72-1 cm long; pith without vascular strands. Leaves 1-4-jugate. Petioles 4-9 (-14) cm, slightly to strongly flattened at the base; pith with few vascular strands. Leaflets oblong to ovate (to suborbicular), 5.5-17(-22) by 3-7.5(-10.5) cm, upper surface greenish when dried, lower surface pubescent to glabrous, indumentum partly or entirely consisting of minute stellate hairs; base broadly cuneate to rounded; apex subabruptly, bluntly acuminate; nervation rather prominent beneath; nerves 10-15(-18) per side, more or less curved, mostly not distinctly looped and joined except towards base and apex; reticulations minute, hardly or not conspicuous above. Panicles axillary, often on short, leafless lateral shoots with a terminal bud, narrow, 12-5½(-20) cm long, ferrugineous-tomentose; peduncle up to 10 cm long. Flowers c. 2 mm long, sessile to shortly pedicelled, glabrous or stellate-tomentose and glabrescent. Calyx 1½ mm. Petals outside glabrous or hairy. Stamens free from the disk. Disk thick-annular or (female) cupular, radially furrowed and with undulate rim. Pistil in male flowers moderately reduced. Infructescences up to c. 5 cm long, ferrugineous-tomentose, with a few fruits. Fruits ellipsoid, immature ones c. 1.5 by 0,9 cm. The indument consists of dense hair tufts rather than of stellate hairs. Reticulations sometimes ± prominent above. Fruits (prob. not fully mature) 2 by 1 cm (SOEPADMO & MAHMUD 1028).
