Perennial herb, 0.4-1 m tall, perhaps occasionally annual or only persisting for a few years. Stems terete or slightly angled, lacking spinescent processes; young stems densely to sparsely pubescent with spreading glandular, simple uniseriate trichomes 0.5-1 mm long, the trichomes 4-15 celled, drying translucent; new growth densely glandular pubescent; bark of older stems greenish-brown or pale tan. Sympodial units unifoliate or difoliate, the leaves not geminate. Leaves simple, shallowly toothed, 2.5-10 cm long, 1-4.5 cm wide, ovate to broadly elliptic, widest in the lower half, membranous; adaxial and abaxial surfaces evenly glandular-pubescent with simple uniseriate trichomes to 2 mm long, these denser abaxially and along the veins, densely pubescent with minute glandular papillae on both leaf surfaces especially in young leaves; principal veins 4-6

, drying paler than the lamina; base truncate and then abruptly attenuate on to the distal part of the petiole; margins shallowly and irregularly toothed, the teeth ca. 0.5 mm long, rounded at the tips and broadly deltate to semi-circular in outline; apex acuminate, the tip blunt; petiole (0.5) 1-2 cm, only winged from the attenuate leaf base in the distal half to third. Inflorescences internodal, 2-3.5 cm long, subumbelliform with most flowers in the distal portion or spaced ca. 0.5 mm apart, unbranched or furcate, with 5-8 flowers, densely and finely glandular-pubescent like the stems and leaves; peduncle 1.8-3 cm long; pedicels 0.7-0.8 cm long at anthesis, ca. 0.5 mm in diameter at the base, ca. 0.7 mm in diameter at the apex, slender and tapering, densely glandular-pubescent with short uniseriate trichomes and glandular papillae, spreading at anthesis, articulated at the base but the articulation point somewhat swollen and a minute stump that is darker in colour left on the rhachis, this especially visible in fruiting material; pedicels scars closely packed in the distal part of the inflorescence to 0.5 mm apart, with the lowermost ca. 1 mm distant from the rest. Buds globose to broadly ellipsoid, the corolla strongly exserted from the calyx tube before anthesis. Flowers 5-merous, all perfect. Calyx tube 1-1.5 mm long, conical to broadly conical, the lobes 1-1.5 mm long, ca. 1 mm wide, deltate and spathulate, densely glandular-pubescent like the pedicels with uniseriate trichomes and papillae, the tips rounded. Corolla 0.6-0.9 cm in diameter, white with a darker (green?) central star, stellate, lobed 2/3-3/4 of the way to the base, the lobes 2.5-3.5 mm long, 1.5-3 mm wide, triangular, reflexed to spreading at anthesis, the abaxial surfaces glabrous to sparsely papillate with a few glandular trichomes ca. 0.2 mm long. Stamens equal; filament tube minute; free portion of the filaments 0.5-1 mm long, glabrous or sparsely pubescent with a few weak tangled simple uniseriate trichomes adaxially at the very base; anthers 1.8-2.2 mm long, 0.7-1 mm wide, ellipsoid, bright yellow, smooth, poricidal at the tips, the pores elongating to slits with age. Ovary conical, glabrous; style 3.5-4 mm long, sparsely glandular pubescent with weak tangled trichomes and papillae in the basal half where included in the anther cone; stigma minutely capitate, densely papillate, not markedly different from the style. Fruit a globose berry, 0.7-1 cm in diameter, green when young, maturing shiny black; the pericarp thin but not translucent when dry (drying black); fruiting pedicels 0.9-1.2 mm long, tapering from a base ca. 1 mm in diameter to an apex 1-1.2 mm in diameter, not distinctly woody, spreading and becoming deflexed at fruit maturity, remaining on inflorescence; fruiting calyx not accrescent, the tube 1-1.5 mm long, the lobes 2-2.5 mm long, spreading and later reflexed, covering the lower ca. 1/4 of the berry, the abaxial surfaces not densely papillate (different to
