Plant branching into several stems at the base; stems 4-5 in. long and bearing 4-7 pairs of leaves in the examples seen, bifariously pubescent; leaves ascending, coriaceous; petiole 2-6 lin. long; blade 1.25-2.75 in. long, 1-4 lin. broad, linear, linear-lanceolate or the lowest narrowly lanceolate, acute, tapering into the petiole at the base, undulate or crisped, on the very scabrid margins, slightly scabrid on the midrib, otherwise glabrous on both sides; umbels about 4 to a stem, lateral and terminal, 10-12-flowered, sessile; pedicels 3-5 lin. long, puberulous on one side; sepals 1.5 lin. long, 0.5 lin. broad, lanceolate, acute, pubescent; corolla-lobes spreading, 2.5 lin. long, 1-1.25 lin. broad, oblong, subacute, with narrowly revolute margins and a few hairs on the back, glabrous on the inner face, apparently greenish-yellow or green; corona-lobes arising at the base of the staminal column and much shorter than it, erect, about 1 lin. long and broad, fleshy, sub-orbicular or orbicular-rhomboid, obtusely apiculate, flat, with a very prominent keel decurrent from the apiculus on the inner face and somewhat angular at its middle, apparently dark brown; staminal column 0.5 lin. long, constricted at the middle, with the upper half broadly obconic and the lower subcylindric; anther-appendages very short, transverse, rounded, indexed over the rim of the truncate style-apex, anther-wings 0.5 lin. long.
