Description
A glabrous tree.
Leaves large, palmately lobed;
Inflorescence a terminal compound umbel c. 16 cm ø;
Petals c. 3.25 mm long in bud (when dry), with 8-9 lobes above, tubular below.
Stamens 8-9, with stout filaments.
Ovary cylindric, 8-9-celled;
Fruit unknown.
Distribution
Asia-Tropical: Maluku (Maluku present), Batjan present

Notes
Tufts of bristles along the entire length of the petiole together with the pinnatifid lobes of the leaf are distinctive. Seemann () referred to 5-flowered umbels with 5-angled drupes, but this probably relates to the New Guinea specimen which he included under this name.
