A tree or tall shrub with glossy brown glabrous woody branches. Stipules minute, lanceolate cuspidate. Petioles 1/4– 3/4 in. long, articulated at the apex, glabrous. Leaves simple, ovate acuminate, 3–4 in. long, when full grown, by 1 1/2–2 in. broad, both sides glabrous, the upper one dark green, veins slightly prominent. Flowers 1–4, laxly racemose, on a peduncle about half an inch long from the axils of the leaves. Bracts lanceolate, small. Pedicels slender, glabrous, about equalling the glabrous calyx, which is 2 lines deep, the lower teeth lanceolate, reaching about halfway down, the two upper ones shorter and subconnate. Corolla rose-coloured, twice as long as the calyx, deciduous. Pod 2 in. or more long, with 2–4 articulations, which are 3/4 in. long by 1/4 in. broad, narrowed to both ends, the lowest distinctly stalked, polished, olive-grey, with prominent longitudinal lines and a few scattered papillæ.
