Aerial, hemiparasitic, moderate-sized to large shrub, 0.4-2.0 m high; younger stems and leaves densely brownish to whitish stellate-or dendritic-pubescent. Leaves opposite to alternate, well spaced except at base of new shoots, elliptic-oblong to ovate, with 4-8 pairs of lateral veins. Inflorescence in a 2-6-flowered head, 1-several in axils or at nodes. Flowers tubular, pale often yellowish green, flushed orange to pink, with conspicuous, whitish, long, ascending, silky hairs. Flowering time June-Mar. Fruit an ovoid, orange to bright red berry, with long silky hairs; calyx tube persistent.
Large shrubs, probably up to 2 m high, young parts usually brownish pubescent. Leaves mostly glabrous at maturity, usually oblong, size highly variable, 40-100 x 20-30 mm, lateral venation conspicuous; petioles 6-10 mm long. Inflorescence: heads, 1-3, axillary; peduncles 8-15 mm long, often brownish pubescent; bracts 3 x 2 mm, half or less the length of the ovary and calyx tube. Berries red, 11-12 mm long. Flowering June-March, and possibly throughout the year in differing climatic regions.
Corolla 3–5(5.5) cm long, pale often yellowish-green, generally flushed orange to pink on the tube above the basal swelling, usually densely silky villous, the long whitish, cream or sometimes reddish hairs masking the constriction, but sometimes (especially coastal plants) long hairs rather sparse on basal part of the then notably waisted tube; basal swelling 3–7 mm long; constriction 3–6 mm long; funnel shaped upper tube 4–12 mm long.
A shrub that grows off other plants. The stems are 2 m long. It grows on a wide variety of hosts. The stems can be spreading or hanging. The small branches have white hairs.

The fruit is a bright orange or red berry. They are 10-15 mm across. The seeds are red.
Leaves opposite to alternate, well spaced except at base of new shoots; petiole 3–15 mm long; lamina 3–10 × 1.2–6 cm, elliptic-oblong to ovate, cuneate, rounded or cordate at base, glabrous to subdensely stellate pubescent, glabrescent, with 4–8 pairs of lateral nerves.
