Information

Tree 6–24 m. tall; bark grey-brown, smooth, flaking in irregular circular patches, covered in reddish warty lenticels and petiole-scars. Leaf-axis 15–25 cm. long, terete (winged when young), sparsely hairy, glabrescent; petiolules 0–2 mm. long; leaflets in 4–6 pairs, mostly elliptic, varying slightly towards ovate and elliptic-oblong, shortly and obtusely acuminate, 6–11(–17) cm. long, 2–4(–5.5) cm. wide (the lower scarcely shorter than the upper), entire or crenate, glabrous; lateral nerves in 12–16 pairs, rather regularly and closely spaced, looped within the margins. Male flowers olive green or yellowish, in dense cymose clusters 1–2.5 mm. long on stalks 2–10 mm. long at the ends of the peduncles, pedicels 0–2 mm. long; female flowers in a sessile cluster or short panicle, pedicels 1–3 mm. long, densely pubescent, lengthening in fruit.Sepals olive green, erect, ± 4.3 mm. long, united to ± half-way; disk flat, green and glandular when fresh, dark red in dried specimens. Stamens 4; filaments 2–7 mm. long; after anthesis the filaments drop off the receptacle leaving a star-shaped configuration of sepals. Ovary rudiment absent. The male inflorescence drops off as a single unit after flowering. Infructescence a lax thyrse; drupe pink, yellow or orange, olive-like, 1.4–2 cm. long, glabrous, with persistent sepals and style. Fig. 3/5–6.
