Bark thin, exfoliating (<i>fide</i> type specimen), bark of old branches striate. Indumentum of golden shaggy trichomes, present on young branches, adaxial surface of the leaves along the midvein, bracts, bracteoles, flower buds, hypanthium, calyx lobes and petals. Young branches terete. Leaves with petioles 1–3 × 0.3–0.5 cm, canaliculate, glabrous; blades 9–11 × 3.5–4 cm, chartaceous, oblong, glabrous on both sides; base attenuate; apex cuspidate; venation brochidodromous, midvein raised on both sides, secondary veins 23–27 at each side, leaving the midvein at angles 65°–75°, raised on both sides, marginal vein ca. 1 mm from the margin; pellucid gland dots ca. 0.1 mm diam., 1–2 dots per mm². Inflorescences glomerate, ramiflorous, with 4–6 flowers; bracts 4, 2–3 × 1–1,5 mm, elliptic; bracteoles 2, 6–8 × 3–4 mm, ovate or elliptic, ciliate, persistent. Flower buds obovate, 7–12 × 8–10 mm, sessile, densely tomentose; hypanthium extended above the ovary, 4– 3 mm long, not constricted above the ovary, tearing during anthesis, deciduous; calyx lobes 4, 1–2 × 1–1,5 mm, partially fused, tearing irregularly at anthesis, pilose on both sides; petals 4, 5–8 × 2–5 mm; stamens with filaments 5–7 mm long after anthesis, anthers 0.4–0.7 × 0.3–0.4 mm, oblong or elliptic, rimose, connective eglandular, glabrous; style 7–12 mm long after anthesis, glabrous, stigma punctiform; ovary 2-locular, 3 ovules per locule.
