Description

Tree to 7 m high. Branchlets terete, scarcely puberulous, glabrescent. Leaves: Stipules not seen. Inflorescence cauliflorous, glabrous, a simple or scarcely branched raceme to 3 cm, with the flowers congested near the apex; Flowers white, pentamerous, bisexual. Stamens to 75 mm; Ovaries 3, glabrous. Seeds imbedded in the fleshy pericarp, not seen.

Distribution

Asia-Tropical: Maluku (Maluku present), Halmahera present, Ternate present

Malesia: Moluccas (Halmahera, Ternate).

Notes

The type, Beguin 2263, seems to be a sapling which may be the cause of its very large leaflets, 27 by 10.5 cm. The species is reduced to A. effeminatum (= A. lucyi) by Kostermans, but glands, inflorescence, flowers and pods are different.
