Shrub or treelet up to 7 m. tall.. Leafy twigs 1–5 mm. thick, glabrous or densely white hirtellous to subtomentellous.. Lamina coriaceous, oblong to lanceolate, 3.5–10(–20) × 1.5–3.5(–8.5) cm., apex subacute to obtuse, base obtuse or rounded to subcordate, margin entire; both surfaces glabrous; lateral veins (8–)10–16 pairs, the basal pair unbranched, curved and running almost parallel to the margin, the others divided rather near the margin; only the midrib prominent beneath, the other veins often plane and inconspicuous; petiole 0.5–2(–3) cm. long, 1–2 mm. thick; stipules 0.5–3.5(–4) cm. long, glabrous to densely white puberulous, caducous.. Figs mostly in pairs in the leaf-axils or just below the leaves; peduncle 0.3–0.5(–1) cm. long, 1–1.5 mm. thick; basal bracts ± 1 mm. long.. Receptacle subglobose or sometimes ellipsoid, 0.5–2 cm. in diameter when fresh, 0.5–1 (–1.2) cm. when dry, glabrous or minutely puberulous, maturing dark purple or dark red; wall often wrinkled when dry.

A fig. It is a shrub or weak stemmed tree. It grows to 8-12 m high. The bark is grey. The leaves are oblong and 5-15 cm long by 2.5-7.5 cm wide. They are very thick and leathery. They are glossy green above and paler underneath. The edges of the leaves are rolled under. The figs are 1-1.3 cm across. The pore at the end is slightly raised. Fruit are in pairs in the axils of leaves. The fruit are bright red when mature.
