Tree, up to 42 m high, dbh up to 1 m. Branchlets terete, up to 1 cm thick, inconspicuously lenti-cellate, brownish to blackish, fulvous tomentellous, glabrescent. Leaves (7-)9-13-jugate, up to 50 cm long, glabrous; petiole ± terete, somewhat flattened and thickened at base, up to 9 cm long; rachis not winged; petiolules 2-5 mm long. Leaflets subop-posite to alternate, lanceolate-ovate, mostly oblique and slightly falcate, 7-16 by 2-3.5 cm, chartaceous; base very oblique, lower half acute, upper half rounded-attenuate to cuneate; apex obtuse to tapering acute-acuminate, mucronate; midrib slightly raised above, more strongly so beneath, nerves many, rather dense, oblique, curved, not joined, rather well developed, prominulous on both surfaces, like the intermediate veins and rather densely reticulate veinlets. Inflorescences up to c. 35 cm long, densely fulvous-to ferrugineous-tomentel-lous. Flowers zygomorphic, white. Sepals flat, hardly petaloid, outside densely appressed fulvous-hairy, outer broad-ovate to suborbicular, 2-3 by 1.5-2 mm, inner obovate, 3-4 by 1.8-2 mm. Petals 4, lanceolate-ovate to elliptic, 3 by 1-2 mm, short-clawed, outside densely appressed long fulvous-hairy, woolly along the margin; scale ⅓ shorter than the petal, of about the same shape, truncate and slightly incurved at apex, along the margin and especially at the apex densely woolly. Disc semi-annular, glabrous. Stamens: filaments densely long-hairy outside and along the margin, the apical part excepted, in male flowers 2.5 mm, in female ones 1.2-1.5 mm; anthers 0.3-0.5 mm, in male flowers glabrous, in female ones sparsely hairy. Pistil glabrous, 3.5-4 mm. Fruits: parts subglobular, 2 by 1.8 cm, carinate, red, glabrous. Seeds sub-globular, 1.2-1.5 cm diam.

Sepals 5, oblong or broadly ovate, larger ones ca. 3 mm, subleathery, abaxially golden sericeous-tomentose. Petals 4, oblanceolate, ca. 3.8 mm, tomentose; scales large, nearly as long as 2/3 of petals, margin densely villous. Disk semilunar, thick. Filaments densely shortly hispid. Fertile schizocarps dark red or orange-red, globose, ca. 2.5 cm in diam. Fl. summer, fr. early autumn.
A tree. It loses its leaves during the year. It grows 20-42 m tall. The trunk can be 1 m across. The branches are strong, stout and grooved. They have yellowish hairs when young. The leaves are large and compound. They are 50 cm long. There are 7-12 pairs of almost opposite leaflets. These are 7-13 cm long by 2-4 cm wide. The flowering shoots are near the ends of branches and are erect and tower-shaped. The fruit are dark red and round. They are 2.5 cm across.
