Leaves alternate, 3-7 × 2-4 mm, shortly petiolate, elliptic or elliptic oblong, extremely thick and coriaceous, almost entire or with 3-4 obscure teeth on either side, glabrous and shining, veins conspicuous. Flowers large and solitary, terminal or both terminal and axillary. Pedicels less than 1 mm long, minutely puberulous, with 2-4 bracts at the base. Bracts broadly ovate, up to 1.5 mm long. Margins of calyx lobes entire and membraneous, inner surface minutely puberulous. Corolla sparingly pubescent within. Stamens as long as the style, filaments 2 mm or more long, ribbon-like, 0.1 mm wide, gradually expanding towards the base, not papillose. Anthers 0.5-0.6 mm long, opening by minute terminal flaps and clefts down the sides, apparently awnless.
