differs from all other species of the genus for the combination of the following characters: the coriaceous, glabrescent and simple leaves, with plane alveolar reticulation, the thickened and glabrous stipules, the irregular insertion of the petiole at the node of one of the three leaves, the inconspicuous 2–serrate margin, the absence of bristly hairs on the fruits, the thickened and rotated fruit pedicel and the 2 follicles that form a horseshoe shape when ripening.
, coriaceous, the adaxial surface bullate, dark-green, shiny, the abaxial surface glaucous (both surfaces yellowish-green in dried material); young leaves pilose, with long and appressed trichomes, which are precociously lost; base cuneate, shortly decurrent; apex acute; margin thickened, usually 2–serrate, the teeth mucronate, the middle tooth less visible; secondary veins in 19–22 pairs, diverging at a 40°, ascending, impressed on the adaxial surface, raised on the abaxial side, the midvein scarcely raised, the veins yellowish abaxially in fresh material (yellow or reddish-brown in dry material), the reticulum plane, the perpendicular tertiary veins well marked.
, bracteate, pedunculate, 3–branched, distally ending in monochasial branches, pilose and glossy; flowered part of the inflorescence 40–50% of total length.
7–10 × 3.2–4.0 mm, covered by dense and thick hairs, bristly trichomes absent, the two largest follicles oriented in a horseshoe-shape due to the pedicel rotation, an aborted carpel usually present between the two most mature follicles; calyx in fruit
