The young twigs are finely hairy, becoming smooth and brown. The leaflets vary in number from 5 to 15; they are oblong to oblanceolate, narrowed at the base, firm in texture, 6 to 15 cm. long, short-stalked, blunt, strongly pinnately veined, shallowly toothed, quite hairy when young, smooth, dark green and shining on the upper side when mature, dull green and more or less hairy on the under surface. The flower-clusters are finely hairy and as long as the leaves or longer; there are 5 sepals, 5 rounded petals about as long as the sepals, and about 8 stamens, those of the staminate flowers rather longer than the petals; the style is short and 3-cleft.
