Straggling tree, c. 6 m high. Twigs and leaf axes sparsely puberulous, infructescences short-velvety. Twigs 2 mm thick (or more?). Leaves 3-(to more?)-jugate; petiole c. 2.5 cm long; petiolules 7-10 mm long. Leaflets elliptic, 10-30 by 5.5-11 cm, index 2-3, pergamentaceous; base symmetrical to slightly oblique, acute and slightly decurrent; apex rather abruptly acuminate, acumen short, acute; densely puberulous on midrib and nerves, more sparsely so on veins beneath; midrib slightly raised above; nerves 1.5-4 cm apart, hardly raised above; some intersecondary nerves strongly developed. Infructescences (position unknown) probably solitary, probably no more than 5-6 cm long, with some strong patent branches near the base; pedicels c. 7.5 mm long. Sepals elliptic, c. 5 by 3 mm, persistent. Disc velvety. Fruits with 2 widely spreading ellipsoid lobes of c. 1.5 by 1 cm, central axis 4-7 mm high with a c. 3 mm long stipe and crowned by a c. 5 mm long style; wall thin-woody, outside pustular, orange, thinly puberulous, probably gla-brescent, inside glabrous.
