Much branched tree, 6–10(–15) m. tall, unarmed; bark pale brown, rather smooth, flaking.. Leaf-blades elliptic, or subovate-to obovate-elliptic or-oblong, apex bluntly acuminate, or attenuate or rounded, base cuneate to rounded, coriaceous or subcoriaceous, glabrous, entire to regularly and shortly, sometimes remotely subserrate-crenate, (3–)5–7(–13) cm. long, (2–)3–5.5 cm. broad; nerves in 4–6 pairs, 2 basal pairs curved-ascending, upper ones shorter, reticulation finely prominent on both faces; petiole 2–7 mm.. Flowers solitary in the upper axils, sessile or subsessile, 4–5(–7)-merous.. Sepals ovate, ± 1.5 mm. long.. Petals similar to, though more membranous and narrower than the sepals, ± caducous.. Disk-glands numerous, subquadrate.. Receptacle glabrous or hairy.. Stamens 40–60; anthers very shortly appendiculate.. Ovary glabrous or hairy; style ± 2 mm. long, shortly 3–5-partite distally.. Fruit subglobose, fleshy, red, 2–2.5 cm. across, glabrous or sparsely hairy, on a stoutish pedicel 1–1.5 mm. long.. Seeds 10–12.
A small tree. It grows 10 m tall. The bark is pale brown and smooth and flaking. The leaves are simple and alternate. The leaf blade is 5-7 cm long by 3-6 cm wide. They are oval and rounded or wedge shaped at the base. They taper to the tip and can have teeth along the edge. The flowers occur singly without stalks in the upper axils of leaves. The fruit is a flattened, fleshy berry. It is red. They are 2-3 cm wide.
Leaf-lamina 5–12 x 2–5.5 cm., coriaceous, elliptic, elliptic-oblong or ovate-elliptic, bluntly acuminate or subobtuse at the apex, cuneate at the base, margin entire or irregularly and remotely subserrate, somewhat shining above, dull below, nerves in 4–6 pairs, slightly raised on both sides, venation laxly reticulate; petiole up to 7 mm.
Small tree up to c. 10 m. tall, glabrous except for the flowers or occasionally with the young stems and petioles minutely pubescent; bark grey, smooth.
Sepals 5–7, c. 1.5 x 1.5 mm., overlapping considerably, broadly ovate, subacute at the apex, margin shortly ciliate, sparsely puberulous outside.
Stamens very numerous on slender filaments c. 7 mm. long; anthers cordate-oblong with a prominent and somewhat recurved apiculus at the apex.
Ovary urceolate, glabrous or sparsely puberulous; style c. 5 mm. long, stout, glabrous; stigmas c. 6.
Fruit a 10–12-seeded, globose, fleshy berry, c. 2 cm. in diam., crowned with the persistent style.
Disk annular, irregularly lobed, elevated and granular between the stamens.
Petals similar to the sepals but more membranous.
Flowers solitary and sessile in the leaf-axils.
Receptacle very small, funnel-shaped.
