Shrub, or tree to 12 m high. Internodes of young branchlets terete or ± compressed. Leaves simple; petiole glabrous or sometimes puberulous, 0.3–3 cm long; lamina elliptic to obovate, or narrowly so, 2.5–10 cm long, 1–5 cm wide, rounded to obtusely acuminate, with acumen to 0.8 cm long, glabrous or nearly so. Inflorescences few–many-flowered, axillary or axillary and infrafoliar, 1.5–7 cm long; pedicels 3.5–13 mm long (length similar in fruit), glabrous. Flower buds acuminate. Sepals 0.7–1.3 mm wide, glabrous adaxially. Petals 5–9 mm long, like staminal filaments deciduous in fruit. Gynoecium syncarpous, like fruit 4-loculed; ovary sparsely pubescent at apex or glabrous, without septicidal fissures or very rarely with apical septicidal fissures. Fruit syncarpous, mitriform or occasionally subglobose, 7–10 (–12) mm long, without stylar beak, without septicidal fissures, sparsely pubescent at apex or glabrous; frequent fruiting carpels with ruptured wall opening into locule; dried fruit as seen in medial transverse section with outer part of pericarp less than 0.5 mm thick, exocarp fleshy but mesocarp apparently lacking; endocarp thinly cartilaginous. Seeds 4–4.5 mm long.

It is a tropical and subtropical plant. It grows in Northeast Queensland and New South Wales in Australia and in New Caledonia. It needs a well drained moist soil. It prefers a protected position. It will grow on most soils. Plants are mostly in rainforest. Melbourne Botanical gardens.
