*Small evergreen tree, 3-12 m tall, growing and flowering continuously on fan-like branches; mainline branches becoming erect after leaf fall and so in turn contributing to the formation of the trunk (Troll's architectural model). Branches horizontal, pendent towards the tip, soft-hairy. *Leaves simple, ovate-lanceolate, 4-14 cm × 1-4 cm, with prominent asymmetry of the leaf blade base; leaf margin serrate, lower leaf surface greyish pubescent. *Flowers in 1-3(-5)-flowered supra-axillary fascicles, hermaphrodite, pentamerous with white petals; number of stamens increasing from 10-25 in the first emerging flower in the fascicle to more than 100 in the last; development of the superior ovary declining in the same order, so that from the third and later, flowers do not normally set fruit. *Fruit a dull-red berry, 15 mm in diameter, with several thousand tiny seeds in the soft pulp.
