Leaves ovate to broadly elliptic, mostly 15–20 mm long, 8–12 mm wide, obtuse, rarely emarginate, margins usually sinuate-dentate, upper surface glabrous or sparsely simple- or stellate-hispid, lower surface densely stellate-pubescent beneath, lateral veins usually conspicuous; stipules 2–4 mm long, deciduous. Inflorescences slender terminal and/or axillary racemes or panicles, 2–4 cm long; bracts deciduous. Flowers cream, externally greyish or rusty stellate-pubescent; pedicels 1–3.5 mm long; hypanthium c. 1 mm long; sepals 1.5–1.8(–2) mm long, deciduous; petals absent; disc absent; ovary c. half superior, summit stellate-pubescent, style branched at or above middle.
