Chisocheton lasiocarpus is a species of tree in the genus
circinate bud at the tip of each leaf which produces a new pair of leaflets every few weeks or months over a period of several years, each leaf eventually reaching five feet (1.5 meters) in length.[2] There are 9 to 11 pairs of leaflets at a time (the oldest may die as new ones are formed). Each leaflet can be up to 18 inches (45 centimeters) long by up to nine inches (23 centimeters) in width. The flowers are white or pink, tubular, about a half inch (one cm) long with 4 or 5 petals and 7 or 8 stamens.[3] The tree is "myrmecophilous" (has a symbiotic relationship with certain ant species). C. lasiocarpus is a highly variable species.[4]
