Leaves usually drying green or brown, those on lower branches often broader and thinner in texture than those on upper branches; blades 1.6–12.5 × 1–6.1 cm, narrowly to broadly elliptic or oblanceolate to obovate, acute to obtuse or rounded, occasionally slightly emarginate at the apex, often with small horny callous at the tip, cuneate to attenuate at the base, entirely glabrous to pubescent; lateral nerves in 5–8 main pairs; domatia absent; bacterial nodules dot-like to linear, scattered, usually several; petiole 0.1–2 cm long, glabrous to pubescent; stipule limbs greenish, opaque, subtruncate to triangular, 2–5 mm long, shortly acuminate, glabrous or pubescent outside, with silky hairs inside.
Inflorescences moderately compact to very lax, 1.7–7 cm across (excluding corollas); peduncles 0–7 mm long; primary inflorescence branches 0.3–1.8(2.5) cm long, glabrous to pubescent; secondary branches very short or ± equalling primary branches; tertiary branches occasionally present; pedicels 0.2–2.2 cm long, slender or ± robust, glabrous or pubescent; bracts buff-coloured, 2–5 mm long, membranous, with sparse to dense silky hairs inside, caducous; bracteoles buff-coloured, ± translucent.
Corolla cream-coloured to yellow, usually drying buff or brown; tube 0.4–1.5 cm long, 1–2 mm wide at the top, glabrous outside, not bearded at the throat; lobes (3)5–7 × 2–3 mm, lanceolate to ovate, obtuse to shortly acuminate.
Shrub or small tree (0.6)1.2–7 m tall, branched to the base with lower (shade) branches more sympodial than upper branches; young branches glabrous to densely pubescent; older branches covered with buff to greyish bark.
Calyx tube c. 1 mm long, glabrous or pubescent; limb (0.25)0.5–1.25 mm long, truncate, repand or with short triangular lobes up to 1 mm long, glabrous or occasionally sparsely hairy.
A shrub. It grows 3 m tall and spreads 2 m wide. The bark is light brown. The leaves are scattered and have dark dots. The fruit are green and ripen to black
Inflorescence-supporting branches present as short spurs (which are sometimes entirely suppressed) or short leafless branches up to 8.5 cm long.
Seed greyish-black, 4–6 mm wide, rugulose on convex face.
Fruit black, 6–8 mm in diameter, shiny.
