Treelet or tree, up to 30 m high by 60 cm dbh; (with low buttresses). Twigs appressedly minutely brown-hairy and early glabrescent (to persistently loosely appressedly to ± patently brown hirsute to tomentose). Leaves (l-)3-6-jugate; petiole sub-terete (to terete), 4-9 cm long, 1.5-3.5 mm thick petiolules 1-10 mm long; axes (sub)glabrous (to hairy). Leaflets (sub)elliptic, 4-21 by 2-6.5 cm, index 2-3, thin-to stiff-pergamentaceous, greenish to bluish grey above, dark brown beneath when dry, glabrous to on the midrib and beneath on the nerves sparsely hairy, (with some small domatia or axillary hair tufts beneath); base slightly oblique to symmetrical; apex acute to acuminate; midrib above prominulous, nerves less than 10 per side, up to 3 cm apart, usually erecto-patent and strongly curved, ending free, above hardly prominent; intersecondary nerves variably developed; reticulation lax. Inflorescences up to 30 cm long with few to several long patent to rather erect branches, the flowers in sessile, dense, many-flowered tufts; densely puberulous. Sepal lobes triangular, 1.25-1.8 by 1.25-2 mm, on both sides variably hairy, ± ciliate, no glands, margin entire. Petals shortly and broadly to long and narrowly clawed; blade elliptic to transversely elliptic, 1.2-2 by 1.5-2 mm, glabrous or outside slightly hairy near the base, inside densely appressed-hairy, entire or slightly toothed to emarginate at apex. Stamens: filament 3.5-4.5 mm long, densely (to sparsely) woolly usually with the exception of the uppermost part; anther suborbicular, c. 0.4 mm long. Pistil: ovary c. 1.8 mm long; style slender, c. 2.5 mm high. Fruits 2-2.5 cm diam., glabrous (to tomentellous); wall 5-7 mm thick. Seeds 14-18 by 8-10 mm, hilum and sarcotesta together c. 10 by 3 mm.
