Shrub or small tree or occasionally scandent, 1.2-7 m tall, with slender branches; shoots brown, red-brown or purplish-brown usually with sparse to dense lenticels and sometimes rather peeling epidermis, glabrous; in some forms some side branches are modified into spines. Leaves thin or very thin; blades elliptic to oblong-elliptic, 2-15.5 x 0.8-6.6 cm, bluntly subacute to obtusely acuminate or distinctly narrowly acuminate at the apex, cuneate to almost rounded at the base, glabrous or with both bristly hairs and much shorter hairs on the upper and particularly lower surface and usually also with bristly ciliae on the margins; petiole 3-7 mm long; stipules with base 1-2 mm long and filiform apex 0.2-1.1 cm long. Inflorescences graceful, 1-3.5 cm long, the rachis, etc. glabrescent to shortly pubescent; ultimate branches 3-8-flowered; peduncle 0.4-1.5 cm long with paired ovate-oblong bracts 1-2 mm long; pedicels 1-5 mm long. Calyx-tube subglobose, 1 mm long, glabrous to pubescent; lobes linear or oblong-linear, 2-6(-7) mm long. Buds acuminate or acute, usually 5-tailed, glabrous. Corolla white, green or golden green; tube 2-3 mm long; lobes narrowly triangular, 2.5-3 mm long, ± obtuse to distinctly appendaged and apiculate at the apex. Style slender, 3.5-4.5 mm long; stigmatic club cylindrical, 0.75 mm long, minutely 5-lobulate. Fruit yellow, subglobose, 1.4-2 cm diameter on stalks 0.5-3 cm long; pyrenes 3-5, 1.3-1.5 cm long.
Leaves thin or very thinly membranous, 2–15.5 × 0.8–6.6 cm, elliptic to oblong-elliptic, bluntly subacute to obtusely acuminate or distinctly narrowly acuminate at the apex, cuneate to almost rounded at the base, glabrous or with both bristly hairs and much shorter hairs on the upper and particularly lower surface and usually also bristly ciliate; lateral nerves in 5–6(7) main pairs; tertiary nerves rather coarsely reticulate; stipules with base 1–2 mm long, and filiform apex 2–11 mm long; petiole 3–7 mm long.
A shrub or small tree. It grows to 7 m tall. The bark is grey and smooth. The leaves are oval and 9 cm long by 3.5 cm wide. They are of thin texture and dark green above but paler underneath. The flowers are pale yellow and 10 mm across. They occur in dense heads in the axils of leaves. The fruit are almost round and 2.5 cm across. They are yellowish-green when mature.
Shrub or small tree, occasionally scandent, 1.2–7(9) m tall, with slender spreading branches; shoots brown, greyish to mid red-brown, dull usually with sparse to dense lenticels and sometimes rather peeling epidermis, glabrous; in some forms some side branches are modified into spines.
Corolla acuminate or acute, usually 5-tailed in bud; white, green or golden-green, glabrous; tube 2–3 mm long, not markedly hairy at throat; lobes 2.5–3 mm long, narrowly triangular, ± obtuse to distinctly appendaged and apiculate at the apex.
Inflorescence graceful, 1–3.5 cm long, the rhachis, pedicels and calyx tube glabrescent to shortly pubescent; ultimate branches 3–8-flowered; peduncle 4–15 mm long with paired ovate-oblong bracts 1–2 mm long; pedicels 1–5 mm long.
