Tree, deciduous, glaucous green or greyish, pendulous in aspect, with white trunk and bark.; it can reach up to 10 m in height, but it does not normally exceed 4-5 m. Leaves large (20-30 cm), compound, imparipinnate, 2-3 pinnate, with 5-7 opposite leaflets, entire, narrowly oblong-lanceolate (1-2.5 \u00d7 0.1-0.5 cm). Leaflets are deciduous but the green-ashen leaf rachis persist on the branches. Stipules very small or absent. Flowers hermaphrodite, zygomorphic, pink-white or yellowish, 1-1.5 cm, in lax panicles, axillary, 15-25 cm; they appear before the leaves. Calyx with 5 free sepals 7-9 mm. Petals 5, free, unequal, 8-15 mm. Ovary unilocular, superior. Fruits in long capsules (10-25 \u00d7 1-1.5 cm), hanging, similar to legumes or pods, with 3 rugose valves, with longitudinal ribs.
