Perry; A. laurifolia Blume; Clausena simplicifolia Dalzell; Cyminosma pedunculata (Linnaeus) Candolle; Gela lanceolata Loureiro; J. arborea (Blume) Zollinger & Moritzi; J. rezinosa Loureiro; Laxmannia ankenda (Gaertner) Raeuschel; Melicope conferta Blanco; Selas lanceolatum (Loureiro) Sprengel; Ximenia lanceolata (Loureiro) Candolle.
Shrubs or small to large trees; to 28 m tall. Petiole glabrous to finely pubescent; 0.5-5 cm; leaflet blades usually elliptic to elliptic-oblong but grading to obovate; oblanceolate; or nearly oblong; 3.5-24.5 x 2-8.5 cm; base cuneate or sometimes rounded or attenuate; apex obtusely acuminate with an acumen to 2 cm or sometimes obtuse or rounded. Inflorescences 2-25 cm; few to many flowered. Pedicel 2-12 mm. Sepals 0.6-1.5 mm. Petals 4-12 mm. Ovary completely pubescent or rarely pubescent only at apex; with or without apical septicidal fissures; style pubescent at base; otherwise glabrous. Fruit subglobose or sometimes grading to ellipsoid; pyriform; or broadly conic; 0.5-1.5 cm in diam.; with or without apical septicidal fissures; usually ± sparsely pubescent with ring of dense appressed trichomes at base but grading to tomentose or glabrous; apex often apiculate; outer part of pericarp (exocarp and mesocarp) drying 0.5-3 mm thick; mesocarp woody or subwoody. Seeds reddish black to black; 3-7 mm. Fl. Apr-Aug; fr. Aug-Dec.
