This is a large evergreen tree, with ascending branches spreading towards the tips.

The leaflets are ovate-lanceolate and acuminate, with 5 to 8 pairs of conspicuous secondary nerves.

The fruit pod is a winged achene or samara that is nearly hairless and about 5 cm in diameter.

The heartwood colour varies from light grey to deep reddish-brown, but this variation is unrelated to any differences in leaves or flowers.

[2] The species is native and endemic to the Andaman Islands, India.
