Terminalia rubiginosa K.Schum.

Large tree up to 35 m high. Young branchlets rufous-tomentose or rufous-appressed-pubescent, becoming glabrous, somewhat sympodial in growth but not always markedly so. Leaves spirally arranged and crowded at the apices of the branchlets, rufous-or fulvous-tomentellous when young and remaining so on the nerves below and sometimes also on both surfaces of the leaf-blade, sometimes rather inconspicuously minutely ver-ruculose on the upper surface, obovate obovate-ellptic or narrowly obovate-ellptic, 5-10 by 2½-5½ cm, usually rounded at the apex and cuneate at the base; nerves 9-13 pairs, rather closely spaced; petiole rufous or fulvous-tomen-tose 4-13 mm. Flowers yellow, sessile, buds globose, in axillary spikes 4-9 cm long; rhachis rufous-tomentose. Bracts filiform fulvous-pubescent, 1½-2½ mm. Lower receptacle (ovary) rufous-tomentose, 1-2 mm long; upper receptacle densely pubescent, shallow-cupuliform ½ by 1 mm. Calyx-lobes ovate, 1 mm long. Filaments glabrous 2½ mm; anthers 0.3-½ mm long. Disk pilose. Style glabrous 3-4 mm long. Fruit densely appressed-pubescent somewhat glabrescent when old, broadly elliptic in outline, 5 by 3½ cm, laterally compressed, surrounded by a thick narrow wing 2 mm broad, with 3 additional ridges developed especially towards the apex where the fruit appears sub-5-winged.

An emergent or canopy tree in dense primary forest at low elevations.

Can be grown by seedlings.
