The tree is short length, with irregular, stratified ramification and only few thick branches. Tree is broadly upright, evergreen or deciduous tree with a long, smooth trunk, branching near the top. The 5-palmate leaves have oblong to ovate-elliptic, leathery, scaly, mid- to dark green leaflets. The bark can be gray to brown, in varying darkness and may be vertically fissured. Leaves are compound, digitate and deciduous. Each leaf has five leaflets of variable size, the middle one being the largest.

Flowers are large, in various tones of pink to purple, and appear while the tree has none, or very few, leaves.
