Description:
Description - Tree with strigulose, pilosulose, or tomentulose branchlets; stipules caducous, (4-)9.5(-11) mm long, 1.5-3 mm wide, linear-lanceolate or lanceolate, acute, strigulose externally, strigulose on most of the inner surface; petioles (8.5-) 10-20 (-25) mm long, terete, strigulose to tomentulose; rachis (9.5-) 10-16(-19) cm long, slightly marginate to alate, stipellate at each pair of leaflets, strigulose to tomentulose; leaflets opposite or infrequently in part subopposite, (8-) 10-12-(-13-) jugate, the petiolules (1-) 1.5(-2) mm long, strigulose to tomentulose, the blades of the two lower pairs smaller, 1.5-4 cm long, (1 -) 1.5-2 cm wide, oval to subrotund, the other blades (2.5-)3-6.5 cm long, (1 -) 1.5-2.5 cm wide, oval to narrowly elliptic or oblong, all the blades with the base equilateral to inequilateral, the upper side broader and rounded-obtuse, or both sides rounded-cordate, the lower side sometimes narrower and acute, the upper surface tomentulose or glabrous, tomentose beneath, the venation plane to slightly salient above, salient beneath; inflorescences racemose or panicled-racemose, (5-)8-15(-55) cm long, ramigerous or ramuligerous, the bracts caducous to persistent, (1.5-)2.5-3.5(-4) mm long, (1.5-)2-3 mm wide, oval to narrowly elliptic to hemispheric in outline to broadly ovate, subappressed tomentulose or strigulose externally and on the basal part within, the bracteoles persistent, arising in the upper half of the pedicels, (1-)2-3(-4) mm long, (0.5-) 1.5(-2) mm wide, ovate or narrowly elliptic, bluntly acute, subappressed-tomentulose or strigulose externally and on the basal part within; pedicels (8-) 11-15(-18) mm long, tomentulose or strigulose; buds subglobose to globose, 7-10 mm diameter; calyx segments ca 4, irregular in size and form, glabrous on the inner surface; petal villose-sericeous externally and on the claw and blade-base within, the claw (1.5-)2.5-3.5 mm long, the blade oblate, (5.5-) 10-13 mm long, (10-) 12-15(-18) mm wide, the base strongly cordate; larger stamens with anthers oblong, 2-3 mm long, 1-1.5 mm wide, glabrous, the smaller stamens glabrous, the filaments 5-9.5 mm long, the anthers oval-oblong, 1-1.25 mm long, 0.7-1 mm wide; gynoecium unipistillate or bipistillate, the stigma punctiform, the style 1-2 mm long, glabrous, except for the sericeous or villose-sericeous base, the ovary 5-7 mm long, 2.5-3.5 mm wide, arcuate-elliptic, sericeous or villose-sericeous, the gynophore 3-4.5 mm long, villose-sericeous or sericeous; fruit elliptic or oval in outline, 1-3-seeded.
