Perennial herb. Stems to 6 m, almost glabrous or sparsely to densely shortly crispate-pubescent or setulose, prostrate or scandent. Leaf-lamina 1·9-11 x 2-11 cm, membraneous to subcoriaceous, ovate or broadly ovate in outline, deeply cordate to subtruncate at the base, deep green and scabrid-punctate above, paler and sparsely setulose to densely cinereous-velutinous on the veins beneath, obscurely and remotely to prominently sinuate-denticulate at the margins, unlobed or sometimes palmately 3-5-lobed, the lobes broadly triangular to ovate or elliptic, the central largest, shortly acuminate, obtuse to acute, apiculate, the lateral shorter. Petioles 0·7-7·0 cm long, glabrous to densely antrorsely setulose or crispate-pubescent. Flowers dioecious. Male flowers 3-60 or more in dense subumbelliform or shortly racemiform sessile or pedunculate axillary clusters, usually co-axillary with a long-pedicellate solitary flower, rarely solitary; peduncles 0·9-7 cm long; pedicels 1·5-10 mm long. Receptacle-tube 2·0-5·5 mm long, pale green; lobes 0·2-1·5 mm long, dentiform. Petals 1·5-3·5 mm long, white, becoming yellowish with age; stamens 3. Female flowers solitary or 2-10 or more in subumbelliform sessile or pedunculate axillary clusters; peduncles up to 2·7 cm long; pedicels 0·4-11(20) mm long; ovary 2·5-5 mm long, ellipsoid, rostrate, glabrous or shortly pubescent. Fruits 1-10 or more in axillary clusters, bright red, usually glabrous, globose, 8-13 mm in diameter, or ellipsoid, 10-12 x 7-8 mm; pedicels 2-68 mm long. Seeds 2·0-5·6 x 1·1-4·5 x 0·4-1 mm, ovate in outline, smooth, compressed.
