Leaves: petiole 1.3-2.9 cm long; blade coriaceous, elliptic, 4.1-8.5 by 1.7-3.9 cm, 2-2.8 times as long as wide, apex shortly acuminate, base rounded to acute, 11-14 pairs of secondary veins at 70-80° from midrib, straight and anastamosing near margin and forming a looped intramarginal vein, tertiary venation of weaker veins intercalcated between the secondary veins and more or less perpendicular to the midrib, becoming scalariform or netlike towards margin, glabrous above and beneath. Inflorescence axillary and terminal, lax, glabrous, 5.5-8.7 cm long; peduncle 2.7-4.2 cm by 1-1.2 mm; bracts and bracteoles small, deltoid, mostly with two small opposite bracteoles on the pedicel (possibly empty bracts) and a single bracteole immediately beneath the calyx; pedicels 6-13.5 mm long (including area below opposite bracteoles). Sepals ovate, 2-2.2 by 1.1-1.3 mm, 1.7-1.8 times as long as wide, apex obtuse to rounded, ciliate at apex, otherwise glabrous. Corolla whitish; tube 6.3 mm long, 1.4 times as long as lobes; lobes c. 4.4 by 1.9 mm, 2.3 times as long as wide; glabrous outside, densely pubescent around and above the stamens inside. Stamens inserted at c. 1.5 mm from corolla base which is 0.24 of tube length; filaments c. 0.3 mm long; anthers c. 1.5 by 0.5 mm. Disk irregularly deltoid, c. 0.3 mm long. Ovaries c. 0.5 mm long, glabrous; style and style head c. 2 mm long. Fruit unknown.
