Description edit
Known in Vietnam as Chét (although many species of Sapindus are usually called Bồ hòn), 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.[3]
