Tree to 12 m tall, to 24 cm dbh. Branchlets glabrous, sparsely lenticellate or not, weakly angled. Leaves: petiole 5-12 mm long, glabrous; blade subcoriaceous to coriaceous, elliptic, 6.1-19.5 by 2.7-11.4 cm, 1.4-2.8 times as long as wide, apex short acuminate with blunt or sharp tip, base acute or cuneate, glabrous above and beneath, secondary veins 7-15 pairs with 4-16 mm spacing, 45-80° from midrib. Inflorescence dichasial, mostly many-flowered, 3.5-12.5 cm long with axes (0.5-)1.2-11.5 cm long and branches 1.2-1.8 mm wide, glabrous or puberulent in upper parts; peduncle (0.2-) 1-7.5 cm by 1.4-1.8 mm, glabrous or puberulent; pedicels 1-5.3 mm long, glabrous to densely puberulent, subtending bracts persistent, bracts present or absent on pedicel. Sepals ovate or oblong, 2-4 by 1.4-3.4 mm, 1-1.8 times as long as wide, apex rounded or obtuse, ciliate, glabrous to densely puberulent outside, glabrous inside. Corolla white with red ‘eye’; tube 32-36 by 1.8-2.9 mm, 1.4-2.1 times as long as lobes, 8.75-16.5 times as long as calyx, pubescent inside above, around and slightly below the stamens, throat pubescent, glabrous or rarely sparsely puberulent at top of tube outside; lobes 15-24 by 6.5-12 mm, 2-3.1 times as long as wide, elliptic or oblong, apex rounded to obtuse, ciliate, glabrous or, rarely, sparsely pubescent in upper quarter outside, glabrous or puberulent at base inside. Stamens inserted 23.5-34 mm from corolla base which is 0.8-0.9 of corolla tube length in rehydrated flowers; anthers 1.7-2.1 by 0.7-0.8 mm, 2.4-3 times as long as wide, apex 1.2-2.2 mm from corolla throat; filaments 0.2-1 mm long, pubescent. Disk 1.1-1.8 mm long, 0.6-1.1 times as long as ovaries, glabrous, oblong or awl-shaped, apex acute to acuminate.
