Trees of the ANACARDIACEAE family varying in size according to variety, and can be from 3 to 30 meters tall, typically heavybranched from a stout trunk. Leaves spirally arranged on the branches, lanceolate-elliptical, pointed at both ends, the blades mostly up to about 25 cm long and 8 cm wide, sometimes much larger, reddish, and thinly flaccid when first formed (new flush). Inflorescences are large terminal pannicles of small polygamous, fragrant, yellow to pinkish flowers.
