Evergreen, sometimes deciduous tree, small to up to c. 42 m. Twigs often with conspicuous leaf-scars. Leaves 2-11-jugate; rachis terete, (2-)5-40(-60) cm, including the up to c. 15(-25) cm long petiole; leaflets usually ovate, elliptic, or obovate to ovate-oblong, sometimes lanceolate, often asymmetric, 1.5-25 by 1-10 cm, usually increasing in size towards the top of the leaf, base usually acute to rounded, rarely slightly emarginate, apex acuminate to cuspidate, entire or dentate, usually slightly to densely pubescent, often with domatia; midrib flat to impressed above; nerves 3-15 pairs, ascending, looped; petiolules up to 5 cm, terminal one usually longest, not or not much swollen at the base. Panicles terminal, erect, sometimes somewhat pendulous, dense to lax, widely to narrowly pyramidal, 10-55(-70) cm, usually profusely branched up to the 4th order, bearing numerous solitary to usually crowded flowers; primary side-axes usually many, up to 35(-60) cm, lower ones sometimes subtended by small to reduced leaves; bracts ovate to narrowly triangular, up to c. 5(—10) mm, more or less pubescent. Pedicels absent or up to 3(-4) mm. Mature buds (1.5—)2(—3) mm diam. Sepals 5 or 4, ovate, unequal, the 3 or 4 inner ones 1-1.5 mm, the outer 1 or 2 usually smaller, often minute, sometimes lowered on the pedicel, sometimes slightly keeled, glabrous or pubescent outside, all entire, usually ciliolate. Outer petals usually glabrous. Inner petals more or less deeply bifid, (0.3-)0.6(-l) mm, glabrous, ciliolate or fimbriate at the tips, often with a minute central lobule, often frayed at the tips. Filaments c. 1 mm. Fruit (sub)globose to obovoid, when ripe (3—)4—10(— 11) mm diam., with thin mesocarp; endocarp (sub)globose, oblique or not, (2.5-)3.5-9(-10) mm diam., with more or less prominently reticulate surface; median keel usually distinct and more or less prominent, at one end sometimes running out into a small to minute processus or tubercle, and sometimes curving outwards at the other end; ventral pore usually rather narrow, whether or not sunken.

A tree. It grows 1 to 42 m high. The trunk is 75 cm across. The leaves can be 60 cm long. This includes a leaf stalk 15-25 cm long. There are 3-7 pairs of leaflets. They are oblong to sword shaped. They are usually larger towards the tip. They are 20 cm long by 6 cm wide. There are 3-15 pairs of secondary veins. The flowering cluster is at the end of the branch. These are erect and 10-70 cm long. The fruit is round and hairy. It is 3-11 mm across. It is red.
