Tree, up to 25(-40?) m high, dbh up to 45(-63) cm, with up to 1.5 m high buttresses. Twigs 2.5-4.5 mm in diam., puberulous, late glabrescent.

Leaflets (narrowly) elliptic to obovate, sometimes slightly falcate, 4.8-11 by 1.5-3.5 cm, index 2.5-5(-6), pergamentaceous, above puberulous in the basal part of the midrib, to subglabrous, beneath sparsely hairy on midrib and nerves, in between minutely sericeous; domatia present; base acute, decurrent; sides slightly curved; apex tapering to fairly abruptly acuminate, acumen short (to long), broad, obtuse (to acute); midrib above raised, nerves 3-8 mm apart, nearly patent, above prominulous, intercalated veins well developed, veins and veinlets clearly different, coarsely reticulate, prominulous but rather inconspicuous on both sides. Inflorescences terminal or pseudoterminal and in the upper leaf axils. Sepals c. 25-50 percent connate, in male flowers 1-1.1 mm, in female ones 1.4-1.5 mm long. Petals absent. Disc in male flowers fairly strongly developed, the lobes protruding between the stamens, in female flowers less conspicuous, glabrous or with some hairs. Stamens 5 or 6.
