Shrub 2-4 m tall, branching from the base; young branches with a short white to brownish tomentum. Leaf-blade 15-35 x 8-20 mm, oblong-elliptic to oblong-ovate, sparsely stellate-pubescent to glabrous and shiny above, densely whitish-tomentose below, with small tufts of brownish hairs on the rather prominent nerves, apex obtuse, base obliquely subcordate or rounded; petiole 2-3 mm long, stellate-tomentose; stipules 3-4 mm long, subulate. Inflorescence axillary; peduncles 10-15 mm long, stellate-tomentose; pedicels 2-4 from apex of peduncle, 3-5 mm long; bracts 3-4 mm long, deeply trifid or bifid, narrow; flower-buds oblong, sulcate. Sepals 9-10 mm long, linear, 3-nerved, tomentellous outside, yellow and glabrous within. Petals yellow 4-4.5 x 1.5-2 mm, oblong-obovate, shortly 2-dentate at the apex, with a nectariferous claw, circumvillous within and ledged above. Androgynophore up to 1.5 mm long, glabrous except for a villous apex. Ovary shallowly 2-lobed, villous; style about 7 mm long, glabrous; stigma-lobes 4-5, broad. Fruit globose or deeply two lobed, lobes about 4 mm in diam., yellowish when ripe, sparsely setulose-pubescent.
Leaf-lamina 1·2–4 × 0·7–2·2 cm., oblong-elliptic to oblong-ovate, apex obtuse, margin serrate and somewhat revolute, base obliquely subcordate or rounded, somewhat shining, sparsely stellate-pubescent or glabrescent above, densely whitish-tomentose below including the nerves, which have however additional scattered tufts of longer brownish hairs and are rather prominent; petiole 2–3 mm. long, with an indumentum as in the young branches; stipules 3·5–4 mm. long, subulate, pubescent.
A shrub. It grows 2-4 m high. The young branches have a white covering. The leaf blade is 2-4 cm long by 1-2 cm wide. It is broadly oval. The leaves have a white covering underneath. The flowers are yellow. The fruit are round or with 2 lobes. The fruit are yellow when ripe. They are about 4 mm across.
Inflorescences all axillary; peduncles c. 1 cm. long, tomentum as for young branches; pedicels normally 3 together, 3–4 mm. long; bracts 3–4 mm. long, deeply trifid or bifid, very narrow, almost filamentous, tomentose.
Petals bright yellow, 4–4·5 × 1·75–2 mm., oblong-obovate, shortly 2-dentate at the apex, with a nectariferous claw circumvillous within ledged above and glabrous on the back.
Fruit usually deeply 2-lobed, lobes c. 4 mm. in diam., globose, yellowish when ripe, sparsely setulose-pubescent.
Shrub 3–4 m. tall; young branches with a short white tomentum and scattered tufts of longer ferruginous hairs.
