Leaves mostly opposite to subopposite, but those at base of lateral shoots crowded, smaller, shorter stalked, more obovate and with fewer more ascending nerves; petiole 5–15 mm long; lamina thinly coriaceous, dull green to slightly glaucous, 4–13 × 0.5–3 cm, lanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate or ovate-elliptic, narrowed or slightly acuminate to an acute or obtuse apex, cuneate to rounded at base, pubescent to glabrous except near base, with 4–6 pairs of lateral nerves, the lower ones ascending.
Corolla 3.8–4.2 cm long, greenish-white, orange-red around vents with greenish tip flushed dull red outside, usually dull red inside tube along lines of filament attachments, densely covered outside with mostly branched hairs 1–2 mm long; apical swelling of bud slight, 5 × 1.5–2 mm; basal swelling 4–5 × 3–4.5 mm, ellipsoid-globose, narrowed 3–4 mm above; lobes erect, 8–9 mm long, upper slightly expanded part 5–7.5 × 0.6–0.8 mm, linear-oblanceolate, slightly hardened inside especially above.
Much branched shrub extending to 1 m, flowering mostly on relatively short lateral shoots; branchlets slightly flattened at first, densely covered with short spreading hairs, longer ones branched, red-brown and shed first.
Umbels (1)2–8-flowered; peduncle (0)1.5–3 mm long, densely spreading hairy; pedicels 2–5 mm long, densely hairy; bract limb 1.5–2 mm long, ovate-triangular.
Stamen filaments red, upper third paler, thickened and hardened, with a very small tooth; anthers 1.8–2.5 mm long.
Style often flushed red opposite filaments, with neck 2–2.5 mm long; stigma capitate, 0.5–0.7 mm across.
Berry 8 × 4 mm, oblong-obovoid, crowned by persistent calyx, pubescent.
Calyx 1–1.5 mm long, flared, split by expanding corolla, ciliate.
Receptacle 1.5 mm long, hairy to almost glabrous.
