Leaves 418, basal; petioles 10-40(-100) mm, glabrous or thinly patent-pubescent, reddish, outer dilated or scale-like below basal articulation; leaflets (2)3 or 4(5), elliptic or oblanceolate to narrowly oblanceolate, conduplicate-falcate, emarginate, (7-)10-15(-25) x 2-5(-8) mm, pale matte greyish green and minutely papillate-puberulous adaxially, glabrous, subglabrous or thinly pubescent and darker green abaxially with scattered, punctiform, black calli. Peduncles 1-flowered, 12-30 mm long, mostly a little shorter than leaves, glabrous or thinly patent-pubescent, with 2 subopposite, subulate, glabrous bracts inserted in distal half 1-5(-7) mm below flower.
