Description: An unusual species we found in 2006, re-visiting a new botanically exciting area that I discovered in 2003. That is adjacent to the Chinese border in northern Vietnam, called Y Tý at around 1850m. Growing as an epiphyte, it held glossy thick-textured leathery leaves of 7-9 ovate-elliptic leaflets 28 x 11cm long and wide and up to 5 smaller leaflets in a secondary whirl radiating above them, all with raised main venation on purple petiolules to 14cm long, held on purple petioles to 50cm long. From late summer terminal shortly branched pyramidal panicles of greenish-yellow flowers covered in tan indumentum are held, which eventually transform to small purple berries. Hardiness untested, best grown in sun to light shade in a fertile moisture retentive soil sheltered from cold winds.
