Tree up to 10 m high or sometimes a shrub; bark rough, dark brown to grey or black; young branchlets rusty-tomentellous or shortly rusty-tomentose. Leaves: petiole 2-4 cm long; blade mostly 5-15 cm long and 6-16 cm wide in our area, bilobed apically about one-eighth to one-third of the length of the leaf, densely reticulate and rusty-puberulous or-pubescent beneath; lobes each with 5 or 6 main veins. Stipules 3-6 mm long. Panicles usually alternately leaf-opposed and axillary along the branches, the male ones 5-19 cm long and the female 2-7 cm long. Calyx 0.8-1.5(2) cm long, rusty-tomentose or-tomentellous. Petals white to pinkish, obovate, 1.2-2 (2.6) cm long, rugose or bullate, hairy on basal claw and outside of limb. Ovary 5-12 mm long, stigma sessile on the ovary. Pods woody, indehiscent, oblong or linear-oblong, mostly 13-20 cm long and 3-6 cm wide in our area, shortly ferruginous pubescent, on a stipe 2-3 cm long. Seeds obovoid to ellipsoid, somewhat compressed, dark brown to blackish, 7-9 mm long, 5-7 mm wide and 3-4 mm thick. Flowering period is from November to April.
It is a leafy shrub or a spreading tree. It loses its leaves during the year. It can grow to 12 m tall. The leaves are broad and lobed. The bark is rough and brown. The leaves are simple and can be 20 cm across. The tip of the leaf has lobes and the base of the leaf has notches. The veins spread out from this notch. The upper surface of the leaf is green and the lower surface a lighter colour and with red veins. The leaves are on thick stalks. The male and female flowers are carried separately. The male heads have fewer flowers than the female. The flower buds are fat and oval. They are velvety and in long strings on sturdy stalks. The flowers are 2.5 cm wide. Only one or two flowers open at one time in a bunch. They hang downwards and drop off easily. The pods are large and woody. They are up to 23 cm long by 8 cm wide. They are green but turn brown. They are covered with tiny raised lines. The pods do not break open but fall off. The pods and seeds are edible
