Chisocheton pohlianus

Chisocheton pohlianus is a species of flowering plant belonging to the mahogany family (Meliaceae).

It is a small, lower story, leptocaul rainforest tree from New Guinea.

Like all Chisocheton species it has indeterminate, pinnate leaves in this case up to 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) in length and having as many as 28 pairs of leaflets at any given time.

[1][2] Each time the tiny circinate bud at the tip of the leaf forms a new pair of leaflets, the leaf simultaneously produces, further back, a small 2 in (51 mm) inflorescence, but not at the same spot as where a pair of leaflets are attached, but halfway between two pairs of leaflets.

[2] The flowers are tubular, about 0.5 in (13 mm) in length with 3 to ten petals, crème de menthe in color and said to have the fragrance of Cymbopogon.
