Leaves 3-foliolate; leaflets 2–5 x 0.7–2 cm., lanceolate to ovate, attenuate to a mucronate and sometimes recurved apex, base broadly cuneate or narrowly rounded; lateral nerves in 5–7 pairs, prominent below, looped within the margin, veins laxly reticulate; petiole c. 2.5 cm. long; petiolules c. 2 mm. long. Inflorescence of 2–5-flowered, lax, terminal racemes, often borne on short side branches; pedicels up to 2 cm. long; bracts trifid, up to 2 mm. long, subulate. Receptacle 3 mm. long, 2.5–3 mm. in diam. at the mouth, funnel-shaped; sepals 1.2–1.7 x 0.35–0.7 cm., oblong-elliptic, rounded at the minutely mucronulate apex, margins densely puberulous. Petals whitish, 7.5 x 2.5–4 mm., elliptic to obovate, blunt or acute at the apex, shortly clawed at the base. Androgynophore as long as the receptacle. Stamens 40–50; filaments up to 2.5 cm. long.
