Information

Tree up to 30 (45) m. tall (but often less in our area); bark grey, rough; crown flattish and much branched; young branches densely ferruginous-pubescent. Leaves up to 50 cm. long; petiole up to c. 5 cm. long, ferruginous-pubescent; rhachis and petiole flattened above, semicircular in section below, often slightly winged at the edges towards the base; leaflets 8–12 (23)-jugate, up to 15 (18) × 4 (5·5) cm., oblong, apex acuminate, margins entire, base cordate, sparsely pubescent or glabrescent above, ± densely hairy beneath, especially on the nerves, nerves and veins moderately prominent above, more prominent below; petiolules 1–5 mm. long, densely pubescent. Flowers in dense panicles up to 30 cm. long; branches of inflorescence ferruginous-tomentellous; bracts caducous, 1–2 cm. long, ovate-triangular to lanceolate-triangular, ferruginously tomentellous; pedicels 1–5 mm. long, ferruginously tomentellous. Calyx c. 1 cm. long, infundibuliform, lobed about 1/2-way, ferruginous-tomentellous outside and within. Petals 0·6–1·2 cm. long, lanceolate, keeled, greyish-tomentellous outside, glabrous within. Stamens with filaments c. 0·4 mm. long, inserted on the cylindric disk, glabrous; anthers oblong (in female flowers c. 2 mm. long, with the thecae sparsely pubescent). Disk8 cylindric, pubescent in male flowers. Ovary ovoid to obconic, glabrous; style c. 2 mm. long; stigma 3-lobed. Fruit purplish, up to 4 × 2 cm., plum-like, ellipsoid, usually mucronulate; endocarp almost as long as the fruit, hard and trigonously spindle-shaped.
