==Description==
The yellow, green or gray solitary trunks reach over 15 m in height at a 20&nbsp;cm diameter, slightly bulging at the base. The [[leaves]] meet the trunk with a 1 m, slightly-bulging [[crownshaft]] covered in tomentum and scales, giving it a brown to gray to white color. The [[pinnate]] leaves extend from 60&nbsp;cm petioles at a 3 m length, recurved and bright green in color. The leaflets are over a meter long, obliquely acute, with one fold along a prominent midrib.
