A shrub with several stems or a tree. It can grow to 12 m high. It does not have spines. The leaves are dark green above and pale underneath. They are oval and 3-10 cm wide and long. They are widest towards the tip and taper gradually towards the base. They are arranged oppositely. The flowers are pale green or white and tube shaped. The fruit is a berry. It is green.
Corolla in the mature bud 4·5–7 times as long as the calyx, 32–54 mm. long, and as in the young bud rounded or somewhat tapering at the apex, white, the limb paler than the tube which is usually greenish–white; tube 3–5 times as long as the calyx, 1·8–3 times as long as the lobes; lobes 10–12, narrowly elliptic, spreading.
Sepals pale green, rounded, also when dry strongly appressed to the base of the corolla tube, which therefore is slightly contacted, and later to the fruit, smooth and shining, the outer ones broadly ovate or orbicular, 4–8 x 4–8 mm., the inner ones slightly larger and becoming tom by the development of the corolla.
Berry globose or ovoid, when dry irregularly shrivelled, thin–walled; wall about 1 mm. thick.
