Shrub to small tree, up to ± 24 m tall and 45 cm in diameter, branches often horizontal or even drooping. Bark grey-brown, rather smooth. Branches often minutely lenticellate; branchlets ± subappressed hairy. Stipules triangular, 1-5 mm long, subappressed hairy, sometimes with glandular margin, soon caducous. Petiole (1-)2-10(-17) mm long, usually slightly longer when united with stalk of inflorescence, subappressed hairy; blade papery, elliptic to obovate, (2-)4-10(-16) x (1-)2-5(-7) cm, cuneate to rounded and often unequal-sided at base, usually shortly acuminate at apex, the acumen rounded to acute, up to 1(-2) cm long; glabrous to hairy and often soon glabrescent above, often more densely hairy beneath especially on midrib and main laterals, glabrescent or not, sometimes with persistent dots of hairs in the axils of main laterals; 4-7(-8) pairs of main lateral nerves. Inflorescence a subumbel, up to ± 35-flowered, subglabrous to ± densely subappressed hairy; peduncle partly to completely adnate to petiole, sometimes free, (4-)5-8(-13) mm long; bracts and bracteoles ovate-triangular, up to 1(-1.5) mm long. Flowers 2.5-3.5 mm long; pedicel up to 3(-6) mm long, the upper part 0-0.5(-1) mm long, usually glabrous. Sepals erect, suborbicular to ovate-elliptic, up to ± 1 x 1 mm, glabrous to sparsely hairy outside, usually glabrous inside, margin ciliate. Petals with stamens united into a 0.5-1(-1.5) mm long, thin, glabrous to hairy tube with free apical parts; large, abaxial petal 2-2.5 mm long, basal part hyaline, upper part deflexed, pubescent outside, 0.5-1 mm split, lobes cucculate; 3 lateral petals shorter, ± 2 mm long, 0.3-0.5 mm split, appressed pubescent outside; 2 remaining petals entire, appressed-pubescent outside. Fertile stamens 2(-3); sterile stamens 1-3, pubescent. Pistil (2-)3-merous, 2-3(-3.5) mm long; ovary glabrous to densely hairy; style subappressed pubescent in upper part, more sparsely so or glabrous in lower part. Fruits ovoid to obliquely ellipsoid, sometimes subglobose, 1-3-seeded, ± distinctly lobed when more than 1-seeded, glabrous to densely villous-tomentose, dehiscent, exposing the endocarp surrounded by some scarlet mesocarp. Seed subellipsoid, 3-4 mm long, 1-1.5 mm in diameter, rounded to acutish at both ends.
Tree or shrub, 1.5-20.0 m high. Leaves elliptic to ovate, 40-100 x 20-50 mm, with minute, caducous stipules. Inflorescence a subumbel. Flowers up to 3.5 mm long, irregular, in small, axillary, shortly pedunculate glomerules; peduncle adnate to petiole. Calyx with 5 unequal lobes. Petals 5, adnate at base to stamens to form an unequal, 5-lobed tube; 3 lobes entire, 2 bifid. Stamens 2 or 3 fertile, 2 sterile. Ovary sessile, 2-or 3-locular; style filiform, shortly 2-or 3-fid at apex. Fruit drupaceous, 1-3-seeded. Seeds with or without distinct endosperm.
