Erect, moderately branched shrub up to 1.5 m tall, single-stemmed at base; reseeder. Branches erect to flexuous, slender, ridged below leaf bases, glabrous, leafy, becoming naked with prominent leaf scars. Leaves alternate, ascending to patent, occasionally reclined, imbricate but towards inflorescence crowded, sessile, epistomatic, linear-elliptic to narrowly elliptic, 5-10 x 1.0-1.5 mm, coriaceous, glabrous; adaxially flat to obtusely concave, smooth, dull, ± white-punctulate; abaxially obtusely convex, subkeeled in distal 0.3, prominently midribbed, glossy; apex acuminate; base cuneate. Inflorescence a terminal, sessile, ebracteate, 6-20-flowered umbel on main and short lateral flowering branches immediately below main inflorescence, which may overtop umbel on main flowering branch, forming a dense cluster of umbels. Flowers subactinomorphic to zygomorphic, cream. Pedicel 0.2-0.5 mm long, adpressed hirsute. Hypcmthium 2.0-2.8 mm long, circumscissile 0.3-0.67 from base; upper portion funnel-shaped, tomentose outside, inside adpressed hirsute between base of floral scales and plane of circumscission, rest tomentose; basal portion oblong, ellipsoid or ovoid, sericeous outside, glabrous inside. Sepals ascending, subequal to unequal, posterior one the smallest and anterior the largest, ovate, elliptic to widely elliptic, obovate or subrotund, 1.4-3.0 x 1.3-2.6 mm, apex rounded or obtuse, both sides tomentose. Stamens exserted; outer, antesepalous whorl arising usually at base of sepals, occasionally at rim of hypanthium; inner, antepetalous whorl arising usually at rim of hypanthium, occasionally in mouth of hypanthium; filaments 0.3-1.2 mm long; anthers widely ellipsoid to suborbicular, 0.4-0.8 mm long, abaxially without broad connective tissue. Floral scales exserted, arising at mouth of hypanthium immediately below antepetalous stamens, clavate, ovoid or ellipsoid, 0.2-0.7 mm long, glabrous. Ovary ellipsoid or ovoid, 0.7-1.0 mm long, glabrous. Style linear to linear-obconical, 1.6-2.4 mm long, with straight, adpressed or incurled hairs in upper 0.3-0.67. Stigma capitate and papillate.
