is readily recognized by its 3–5-nerved entire leaves; axillary, sessile, subsessile, or short-pedunculate cluster of 3–5 sessile flowers with persistent or tardily deciduous, broadly triangular to ovate or oblong-ovate bracts and bracteoles; oblong-subcylindric hypanthia with a glandular-ciliate torus; triangular calyx lobes covered with minute stellate trichomes on both surfaces; oblong and ± terete calyx teeth that conceal the calyx lobes; ventrally inclined apical anther pores; superior ovary; and gray-blue to gray-purple or pale purple mature berries. The flowers are typically 5-merous and the ovaries are mostly 5-locular but a few flowers on the specimens available for study are 4-merous and at least a couple of ovaries are 4-locular in 4-merous flowers. The significance of this variation is difficult to gauge in view of the limited number of flowers and fruits on specimens studied. The specimen label on one collection (

) describes the leaves as green adaxially and wine-colored abaxially. We were unable to determine the consistency of this color difference on opposing leaf surfaces because all of the collections that were available for study turned dark upon drying.
