Leaf-lamina 3·5–9 × 2·5–7·5 cm., very broadly oblong, rounded, acute or acuminate at the apex, margin serrate, truncate or subcordate at the base, upper surface bronzed when dry, sparsely appressed-pubescent, more densely pubescent beneath; nerves rather prominent below; petiole 2–3 mm. long, densely pubescent; stipules c. 5 mm. long, subulate, entire or more usually bifid, pubescent. Inflorescences all axillary with 3–5 cymes often crowded in one axil, on thinly pubescent peduncles up to 1·5 cm. long; pedicels similar, up to 5 mm. long; bracts deeply bifid, trifid or occasionally simple, pubescent. Flower-buds oblong, not swollen at the base, somewhat longitudinally sulcate. Sepals c. 7 mm. long, linear-oblong, densely and closely pubescent on the back, glabrous and reddish-yellow within. Petals yellow, somewhat shorter than the sepals, linear-oblong, often bidentate or incised at the apex, with a basal nectariferous claw circumvillous on the margins within setose-pubescent on the back and with a slight ledge above on the inside. Androgynophore 1 mm. long, glabrous, barely elongated above the node but tomentose at the apex and not clasping the ovary-base. Ovary ovoid, not lobed, setose-pubescent; style up to 6 mm. long, glabrous; stigma-lobes 4, short, subulate. Fruit c. 8 mm. in diam., yellowish when ripe, globose or obovoid, finely appressed-stellate-hairy, not lobed.
