Leaves alternate, rather firm, linear-lanceolate above a very slightly cordiform base, tapering evenly to the apex, 8 by 0,8 cm, 5-nerved; petiole only 1½ cm long, slender. Male flowering axes solitary or a small number along weak leafless branches which scarcely exceed the length of the axillant leaves; axis slightly angled, to 2½ cm in length, with about 20 flowers spaced their own diameter apart. Buds subglobose over a broad base, less than 1 mm long. Female flowering axis short, giving rise to few capsules. Capsules with the apex truncate, base obtuse, wings 20 by 15 mm; stipe 3 mm long.
