Leafy twigs c. 3–5 mm diam. Indumentum restricted to innovations. Leaves 11–25 cm long; petiole 3–7 cm, weakly swollen and flattened adaxially at base. Leaflets obovate (to elliptic), bases acute to subcuneate; apices emargi-nate or rounded (to obtuse), sometimes mucronate, costae 6-8 on each side, weakly arcuate and rather obscurely looped near margin; apical leaflet 5.5–14 by 3.5–9 cm, laterals 4–12 by 2.5–7 cm; petiolules 3.5–10 mm on lateral leaflets, 4–6 cm on apical, all somewhat swollen at junctions with laminae and grooved adaxially in sicco. Thyrses 1–5.5 cm long, produced with new leaves and from axils of fallen ones up to at least ten nodes from apex, fasciculate, apparently arising in the axils of undeveloped leaves in axillary buds; primary branches to 2 cm long, bearing fascicles of 1–4 flowers; axes minutely puberulous to glabrous; bracts c. 1 mm long, narrowly triangular, pubescent, caducous; bracteoles 1–3, c. 0.5 mm long, narrowly triangular, pubescent, borne half way up pedicel to articulation with pseudopedicel; pedicels c. 4–6 mm long, conspic-uously articulated with pseudopedicel, c. 1 mm long, continuous with calyx. Calyx c. 2–2.5 mm long, shallowly cupular, ± puberulous, red-brown, margin truncate to irregularly (4-or) 5-lobed, the lobes up to 1 mm deep, obtuse, margin ± ciliate. Petals (4) 5, 6–7 by 2.5 mm, oblanceolate, yellow-green to white, glabrous. Staminal tube fleshy, deeply (16-or) 20-ribbed, cream, ± pilose within, margin with (8) 10 emargi-nate lobes; anthers (8) 10, 1 mm long, ovate, apiculate, in one rank, inserted opposite lobes, very weakly exserted. Disk c. 2 mm long, membraneous, glabrous, margin irregularly laciniate. Ovary and style glabrous; stigmatic lobes c. 1 mm long. Drupe (immature) c. 3 cm long, 2.5 cm diam., subglobose, stipitate, stipe to 5 mm, densely minutely tomentellous, orange-red or pinkish-yellow, pericarp with white latex. Seeds 2, c. 2 cm long, 1 cm diam.

A tree. It grows to 35 m high. The trunk is 35 cm across. The bark is smooth with small cracks to deep fissures. The leaves are 11-25 cm long. The leaflets are 4-14 cm long by 2.5-9 cm wide. The end leaflet is larger. There are 6-8 secondary veins on each side of the leaflets. The flowering cluster is 1.5.5 cm long. It is produced with the near leaves. They grow from the axils of the fallen leaves. The flowers are 2-2.5 mm long. The fruit is almost round and orange red to pinkish-yellow. The fruit is edible.
