A climbing shrub; young branches covered with a very fine, dark, rusty furfuraceous tomentum, soon glabrous. Leaves lanceolate to elliptic, obtusely acuminate, acute at the base, 2–3 in. long, 3/4–2 in. broad, subcoriaceous, quite glabrous except in the nerve-axils; secondary nerves oblique, 8–10 on each side; transverse veins close and fine, subhorizontal; petiole slender, up to 6 lin. long. Flowers in axillary and terminal, mostly peduncled pseudoumbels or short panicles, up to 2 in. long, covered like the remainder of the inflorescence with the same kind of tomentum as the young branches; bracts minute, ovate, acute; pedicels up to 2 lin. long. Calyx semiglobose, very minutely tomentose, 3/4 lin. long; sepals ovate, obtuse; intracalycular glands 5. Corolla short funnel-shaped, very minutely furfuraceous without; tube scarcely 1 1/4 lin. long, glabrous in the throat; Suprastaminal calli transversely linear; lobes rather thick, ovate-lanceolate, as long as the tube or slightly longer. Staminal cone reaching to the corolla-mouth; anthers glabrous on the back. Disc sinuous. Carpels puberulous on the top; style obconical, minutely papillose; stigma campanulate, with a setiform apiculus.
