Tree 4.5–7 m tall. Leafy twigs 3–7 mm diam., lenticellate, subglabrous. Apical buds sericeous, young leaves fist-shaped. Leaves 14–22 cm long, paripinnate, 3-or 4-jugate with caducous spike 2 mm long, petiole 4–7 cm, glabrous, ± grooved adaxially, swollen basally; rachis subglabrous. Leaflets opposite to subopposite, the most distal largest, 9– 13 by 3.5–5 cm, the more proximal smaller, oblong to subfalcate, subcoriaceous, subglabrous, base asymmetric, attenuate, apices acuminate, the acumen to 8 mm long, rounded, costae c 11–14 on each side, subsquarrose and weakly arcuate, ± bifid 2/3 from midrib and anastomosing; petiolules c. 5–6 mm, hirtellous. Thyrses fasciculate (arising from a dwarf shoot with sericeous apical bud) or solitary, axillary or in axils of fallen leaves, 4–9 cm long, often branched from base; axes subglabrous to minutely pubescent; b anches to c. 5 cm or absent, bearing cymose fascicles of scented flowers; bracts and bracteoles c. 1 mm, lanceolate, pedicels 2–4 mm, articulated with pseudopedicels, 2–4 mm, both swollen at articulation. Calyx c. 1 mm deep, salveriform to subcampanulate, shallowly 4-lobed, margin ciliate. Petals 4, c. 4 mm long, glabrous, creamy white, adnate to staminal tube in proximal 1/3. Staminal tube pubescent without, pilose distally within, margin undulate to ± irregularly lobed; anthers 8–10, c. 0.5 mm long, included, apiculate. Disk 1–2 mm tall, fleshy, glabrous except pilose within at base, margin undulate.
