Tree to 30 m. Branchlets ferruginous- or ochraceous-tomentose. Stipules usually bigeminous, to 6 mm long. Leaves opposite, 2-7-jugate, the axis tomentose, 12-45 cm long, the petiole 4-16 cm long. Leaflets rather thick and rigid-coriaceous, the lateral petiolules 0.1-4.0 mm long; blades oblong-elliptic, ovate-elliptic, or ovate-oblong, 8-20 cm long, 4-10 cm broad, rounded or subcordate at the base, more or less attenuate and acute at the apex, biserrate-dentate or coarsely dentate, rugose and lustrous above, more or less densely ochraceous or fulvous-tomentose beneath, the costa and secondary nerves (12-18 each side) very prominent, the venular reticum prominent. Inflorescences axillary, primary division trichotomous subsequent dichotomous, many-branched, the branchlets brachiate and curved, rather thick, the terminal supporting thick, short (0-2 mm), and shortly pedunculate pedicels. Flowers pentamerous, hexamerous, or tetramerous, the expanded calyx 6-7 mm in diameter; filament of fertile stamens 3-4 mm long, hairy near the base; ovaries densely hirsute, tapering to a long, hooked style. Follicles tomentose and very hispid, subglobose-ovoid, 3-4 mm long and wide. Endocarp globose-ellipsoid, 2.5-3 mm long, 2.0-2.8 mm broad, when dry and open thickly U-shaped. Seeds subellipsoid, 2.0 × 2.0 × 1.4 mm. Tree to 30 m. Branchlets ferruginous- or ochraceous-tomentose. Stipules usually bigeminous, to 6 mm long.
