A straight slender tree. It grows to 10 m high. The trunk is 15-20 cm across. It may or may not lose its leaves during the year. The leaves have 3 conspicuous veins from the base. The leaves are heart shaped and with 3 veins. The leaves are often widest at the base. Leaves are often 6-15 cm long by 2.5-5 cm wide. There are fine teeth along the edge of the leaf. The leaves are rough and hairy when young. The flowers are small, green and no easily seen. They occur in short dense bunches. Mostly male and female flowers occur separately. The fruit are small and round and black. They are 4-6 mm across.

Leaves: lamina ovate to narrowly elliptic or lanceolate, 4–20 cm long, (1–) 1.5–8 cm wide, cordate or rounded, symmetrical or oblique base, serrate margin, attenuate at apex, usually coriaceous, markedly discolorous, scabrous above, velvety over hoary indumentum below; veins 4–8 pairs; petiole 2–20 mm long; stipules linear-lanceolate, 3–10 mm long. Inflorescence few-to many-flowered, to 4 cm long. Flowers globose, c. 2 mm diam.; perianth persistent. Drupe ovoid, c. 3–5 mm long, purple to black, calyx lobes persistent at base.
