A shrub or medium sized tree. It grows 15 m tall. It is similar to Craterispermum laurinum. The leaves are 7-18 cm long. They are oval and yellow-green. The base is wedge shaped. The flowers are in compact groups near the axils of leaves. The flower stalk is stout and flattened. The fruit are 5-6 mm long and do not have a stalk.
Inflorescences supra-axillary (sometimes only slightly so), compact and subcapitate, several-flowered; peduncles mostly stout, compressed, 2–10 mm. long, thickened apically; bracts and bracteoles triangular, keeled, c. 1.5 mm. long, acuminate, very congested.
Corolla white, sometimes tinged pink in bud, sweetly scented; tube 3.5–5.6 mm. long, densely hairy inside at the throat; lobes 3–5.8 mm. long, oblong-lanceolate to oblong-ovate, hairy inside at least at the base.
Anthers with tips just exserted in long-styled flowers, completely exserted and reaching to or nearly to the tips of the corolla lobes in short-styled flowers.
Style 7–7.5 mm. long in long-styled flowers, well exserted, 2.6–4 mm. long in short-styled flowers, included; stigma lobes linear-clavate, 1.3–2.5 mm. long.
Fruit brown when dry but described as green or black, 5–6(7 in spirit material) mm. long and wide, subglobose or ellipsoid, sessile.
Seeds dark brown, shining, bowl-shaped, longest dimension 3.4 mm., shorter dimension 2 mm., the depression deep and rounded.
Shrub or small to medium tree 1.8–15 m. tall, glabrous; bark greyish white, rough warty with old swollen nodes.
Calyx tube 0.7–1.5 mm. long; limb 0.9–1.4 mm. long, slightly toothed, the teeth 0.3–0.5 mm. long.
