Inflorescences axillary, cymose; peduncles up to 20 mm long, hairy. Flowers 5-merous, green to yellow; pedicels up to 15 mm long. Sepals ± suborbicular, ± 1 mm long, hairy. Petals suborbicular, 1-2 mm long, glabrous. Ovary (2)3-locular. Fruit a globose drupe, 8-20 mm in diam., often apiculate, bright to purplish red, smooth, glabrous or hairy.
Leaves with lamina dark green often glossy and sometimes glaucous above, paler and dull below, 1·6–12(15) × 0·8–5·6(8) cm., ovate to lanceolate or oblong or more rarely elliptic to subcircular, obtuse or very rarely acute to rounded or retuse at the apex, with margin entire or undulate-crenulate to glandular-denticulate, cuneate to shallowly cordate at the base, coriaceous, glabrous or with nerves shortly yellowish-pubescent above, glabrous or ± densely yellowish-pubescent to-velutinous below, with veins varying in prominence; petiole 1–8 mm. long, glabrous to velutinous.
An evergreen tree. It has several stems and grows 12 m tall. The crown is spreading. The young bark is smooth and grey but it becomes rough. The young branches are flattened.
