Young shoots angled, woody, glabrous or with amorphous red glandular protrusions, reddish-brown when very young, soon exfoliating a waxy white cuticle; older stems terete, reddish-brown to grey, wrinkled, glabrous with conspicuous lenticels, branches geniculate; trunks with checkered grey bark. Stipules persistent, 1.5-3 mm long, setiform with striate, membranous wings, glabrous, red or green, the fused bases clothing short shoots on the older branches from which new leaves or side shoots arise. Leaves 2.5-4.5 cm long, petiole 5-9 mm long, rachis 11-18 mm long, red granular tissue scattered along the axes and concentrated at the junctions of the leaflets with the pinna, and pinnae with the rachis; pinnae 2-4 (-5) pairs, 9-20 mm long, the lowest pair bearing a stipitate nectary 0.4-0.7 mm in diameter on a 0.5-1 mm-long stipe, the tip orbicular, crateriform and flared; leaflets 8-14 pairs per pinna, inserted several millimeters above the base of the pinna, shortly petiolate, 2.5-3.5

Flower buds obovate, apically rounded. Capitula 0.5-1 cm long, containing 30-50 sterile, functionally male and hermaphrodite flowers, sterile or male flowers rarely absent, proportions of each flower type variable.

Hermaphrodite flowers 5-25; calyx 1.4-2.7 mm long, obconic, the tube 1.3-2 mm long, 0.8-1.2 mm in diameter, rimmed with 5 free acute lobes 0.3-0.5 mm long; petals 2-3.5
