Description:
Shrub or small tree 2-5 m high, with furrowed brown bark; branches and leaves white-pubescent, glabrescent; leaves compound, 2-7 cm long, terete, sometimes obscurely grooved below grey-green or (at Paralana) light-green, petiole 0.6-4 cm long, intial divisions trichotomous, lateral ones dichotomous, final segments 1-14, spreading, 0.15-3.6 cm X 0.7-1.8 mm, apex straight, mucro 1-3 mm long.

Inflorescence a raceme of 35-100 white flowers, sometimes a few in panicles; rhachis, pedicel and perianth appressed-white-pubescent, rarely with raised hairs; rhachis 2-7.5 cm long; pedicel 3-9 mm long; perianth 2-5 mm long, slightly bent in the mature bud, limb 1.7-2.8 mm long; anthers 0.9-1.3 mm long; gland 0.9-1.6 mm long laterally; pistil 8.5-11 mm long, glabrous; style more or less straight; pollen-presenter an erect cone 0.5-1.5 mm high, with an oblique base 1-1.3 mm diam., sometimes dilated into a narrow flange.

Fruit narrow-ovoid, 2.2-3.4 X 0.6-1 cm, smooth, glabrous or shortly tomentose, sometimes with a very long broad beak, abruptly or gradually terminated by a short narrow beak rarely flanked by 2 horns, dehiscing fully down both sides, with a narrow zone of 2 equally wide light-brown layers of wood beside the seed cavity; seed (from cavity) 19-26 X 6-10 mm, body 7-12 mm long, ridge absent, wing terminal, the only one seen brownish-yellow, like H. leucoptera in texture.
