Its leaflets emerge in groups of three, and are 7–9 cm long and 5–8 cm wide. [1] The plant's young leaves, flowers and pods are consumed as vegetables.
The pterocarpan orientanol A can be isolated from the wood of E. orientalis. [2] The pterocarpans orientanol B and C, folitenol and erythrabyssin II, the pterocarpene erycristagallin and the prenylated isoflavone bidwillol A can be isolated from the roots. [3]
