Leaf-lamina 1·5–6 × 0·8–2·5 cm., lanceolate, apex acute to subacute, margin serrate or serrate-crenate, base rounded or subcordate, glabrous above, very sparsely appressed-stellate-pubescent below, especially on the nerves; lateral nerves 4–5 pairs; petiole 1–3 mm. long, sparsely setulose-pubescent; stipules c. 6 mm. long, subulate, sparsely setulose.
A straggling shrub. It grows 5 m high. The small branches are grey. The leaves are alternate and simple. They are oval and 2-6 cm long by 1-3 cm wide. The flowers are in clusters of 2 or 3. They are in the axils of leaves. The fruit are round and fleshy. They are 8 mm across.
Petals yellow, about half the length of the sepals, often incised at the apex, with a basal nectary which is circumvillous on the margins within, with a slight ledge above and glabrous at the back.
Inflorescences all axillary; peduncles 3–10 mm. long, 1–3-flowered, slender, sparsely setulose; pedicels similar, 2·5–6 mm. long; basal bracts 1 mm. long, oblong, minutely pubescent.
Shrub c. 2 m. tall, becoming scandent if crowded with other trees or bushes; young branches very delicate, sparsely pubescent, soon becoming glabrous; older branches 4-angled.
Shrub, 2 m high. Leaves glabrous above, sparsely stellate-pubescent below, apex acute or acuminate, blade lanceolate, nerves not reticulate. Fruit not lobed. Flowers yellow.
Sepals c. 6·5 mm. long, narrowly oblong-spathulate, involute towards the apex, pubescent outside, 3-nerved, apex somewhat hooded.
Ovary never lobed, appressed-setose; style c. 3 mm. long, glabrous; stigmas very small, subulate.
Androgynophore 0·75 mm. long, glabrous, barely elongated at the pubescent apex.
