Shrub or much-branched treelet up to 5 m, sometimes up to 12 m tall. Branchlets drying brownish to greyish. Leafy twigs 1-3 mm thick, whitish minutely hispidulous, ± scabrous; internodes solid. Leaves (sub)opposite (and the pairs partly decussate) or alternate and distichous or in lax spirals; lamina oblong to subobovate to elliptic or to (ob)lanceolate to linear, (1.5-)4-16(-37) by (0.5-)1.5-7(-17) cm, (almost) symmetric (or rarely distinctly asymmetric by an unilateral lobe), chartaceous to subcoriaceous, apex acuminate to subcaudate or to subacute, base (almost) equilateral (or rarely distinctly inequilateral), cuneate to rounded, flat or slightly revolute, margin coarsely to faintly crenate-dentate to lobate (in narrow leaves at the base, unilaterally or bilaterally) or to entire; upper surface sparsely minutely hispidulous, ± scabrous, lower surface sparsely minutely hispidulous to subglabrous, ± scabrous to smooth; cystoliths on both sides; lateral veins 4-8(-10), or in linear laminas up to 25 pairs, the basal pair up to 1/4-1/3, but in narrow laminas up to 1/8-1/6, and in linear laminas not elongate and up to 1/20-1/10 the length of the lamina, running close to the margin of the lamina and then unbranched but in large leaves mostly branched and/or also other lateral veins branched, lateral veins in narrow leaves departing at angles up to 90° and mostly straight, tertiary venation scalariform or in narrow laminas reticulate; waxy glands in the axils of both basal lateral veins; petiole 0.2-1.5(-3) cm long, slightly different to almost equal in length on the same twig, sparsely minutely hispidulous, the epidermis persistent (or rarely flaking off); stipules semi-amplexicaul, subovate, chartaceous, 0.3-0.8 cm long, sparsely minutely puberulous to glabrous, caducous. Figs axillary and also just below the leaves, in pairs or solitary, sessile or with a peduncle up to 0.3 cm long; peduncular bracts 2 or 3, scattered (up to the base of the receptacle) or verticillate, 0.5-1 mm long; receptacle (sub)globose, (0.3-)0.5-1(-1.2) cm diam. when dry, (sparsely) minutely hispidulous, scabrous to scabridulous, mostly without lateral bracts, yellow to red or black at maturity, apex convex, ostiole 1-2 mm diam., often surrounded by a low rim; internal hairs abundant (or few to absent), brownish. Tepals whitish, minutely hairy at the apices or glabrous. Styles glabrous.

A fig. It is a small evergreen tree. The branches are yellowish-brown. The leaves are opposite and papery. They have rough bristly hairs on both sides. The leaves are 10-18 cm long by 4-8 cm wide. The fruit are orange or light red with white dots. They occur singly or in pairs in the axils of leaves. They are round and 0.8-1.5 cm across. They are rough.
