Description Known in Vietnam as (although many species of Sapindus are usually called ), this tree species grows up to 13 m tall and Gagnepain's original description was from the Phan Rang area. The name probably describes the two metallic brown-red hairy scales, sheathing the petals; leaflets are in 1-2 pairs. The seeds are relatively large (15 mm) grouped in 1-3 mericarps.Phạm Hoàng Hộ (2003) Cây Cỏ Việt Nam: an Illustrated Flora of Vietnam vol. II (entry: 5195) publ. Nhà Xuẩt Bản Trẻ, HCMC, VN.
