Vegetative and reproductive parts (where indicated) bearing a moderately dense, shortish indumentum, the individual trichomes dibrachiate or not, appressed to somewhat reflexed (appearing villous), frequently irregularly contorted, whitish or reddish. Branchlets laterally compressed but becoming rounded, smooth, moderately short villous (hairs mostly reflexed and not dibrachiate) becoming glabrous, oil glands common and prominent (after indumentum falls away). Leaves opposite, mostly occurring in 2-4 pairs along seasonal growth of branchlet, thinly coriaceous, venation brochidodromous (invisible to obscure), discolorous, somewhat glossy above but matte below.

Other differences of the Chapman specimen include longer and more densely and prominently punctate leaves, and inflorescences that mostly arise from ramiflorous brachyblasts.
