Tree to 27 m high and 38(-50) cm in diam.; buttresses steep, 1.5 m high and 30 cm extending outwards from the base.
Leaves 2-4-foliolate, shortly petioled; petiole and rachis 1.5-7 cm long, not prolonged beyond the upper petiolule.
Stipules intrapetiolar, minute, c. 1 mm long, caducous.
Inflorescences axillary, up to 24 cm long, glabrous, loosely flowered; bracts triangular, up to c. 1.5 mm long, glabrous, caducous; bracteoles spaciously alternate at the lower half, or subopposite or opposite at the base, of the pedicel, triangular, minute, c. 0.2 mm long, glabrous, caducous; pedicels (7-)15-22(-30) mm, articulated at the base, glabrous.
Flowers greenish white, greenish yellow, or white, scented, glabrous outside.

Morphology
Crudia tenuipes is characterized by the following characters: 1) Leaves 2-4- foliolate with glabrous leaflets, 2) pedicels rather long, usually 15-22 mm, 3) calyx lobes often puberulous on the inner surface, glabrescent, and 4) pods ellipsoid or fusiform, swollen, 5-8 by 2.5-3.5 by 1.8-2.5 cm; sometimes remains of calyx lobes which are sparsely hairy on the inner surface can be observed with a handlens of x 10.
