Description
Species Description - Inflorescence and flowers ferruginous or gray-tomentellate, the branches stout, irregularly and heavily angled and sulcate. Leaves extremely variable in size, the longest more than 3 or 4 dm. long, sessile or with a long, winged petiole, the leaflets 5, the joints of the rachis broadly winged, the wings herbaceous, successively wider upward and wider toward their upper part, the widest as much as 1.5 cm. on each side. Leaflets sessile, blackish glandular at the base, the largest 1.5 dm. long, and 8 cm. wide, oblong or oval, rounded or obtuse at both ends, entire or with one or two obscure teeth toward the summit, thickish, the midrib and 8 to 10 secondaries on each side mostly depressed above and strongly prominent beneath, glabrous above, sparsely and coarsely pilose on the veins beneath, finely and strongly reticulate-veined. Panicles spiciform, cylindric, densely flowered, sessile, 5 to 8 cm. long in my specimens, 1 to 1.5 cm. thick, subtended by a pair of coriaceous, ciliate, brown, many-ribbed oblanceolate obtuse bracts about 2 cm. long, these apparently substituting the tendrils, which are not present.
