tree-shrub

A shrub or small tree, with glabrous pinnate leaves.
Leaves 20–50 cm long, simply pinnate; leaflets 5–13, glabrous, apex long-acuminate, coarsely crenate-dentate; petiolules about 1 cm long;
Cymes up to 10 cm long, pubescent or puberulent, about 20 cm across but often much smaller; calyx green, ovoid; petals oblong-ovate, acute, glabrous, yellowish or greenish-white and sometimes tinged with pink.
Fruit brown, glabrous, about 1.5 cm thick, 1 cm long, depressed globose, wrinkled when dried; seeds 3–4, subglobose, about 6 mm across, glabrous.
This species, apparently consistently with simply pinnate leaves, can be readily distinguished from Leea sambucina by its obovoid buds and long-acuminate leaflets, and from L. manillensis by its greenish flowers.
