Trees, treelets, or shrubs, branches sometimes scandent, 2—8 (12) m, young branchlets without lenticels in first year, appressed-sericeous, eventually glabrescent. Larger leaves (14.5--) 18.5--38 cm de largo y (6.6) 8—16.5 cm de ancho, oblanceolate to elliptic, abaxial surface sparsely sericeous with trichomes mainly restricted to venation and easily dislodged,  trichomes T-shaped, sessile to longest stalks 0—0.025 (--0.05), longest trabeculae (0.8) 1—1.5 (1.75) mm, usually straight (rarely somewhat sinuous) and parallel to veins or to each other, abaxial glands per side of midrib (0) 1—3 (4) proximal and adjacent or closer to midrib than margin with an additional (0) 4—37 more distal randomly arranged,  most proximal (0.5) 0.75—1.5 (2) mm; stipules (1.5--) 2.5—6.6 (--11) mm; petioles 5—13 (--25) mm. Inflorescences from axils with leaves usually present, single, simple pseudoraceme, pseudoracemes 6—16.5 cm with 10—21 (33) flowers, bracts (excluding the most proximal) 2—3.5 mm, peduncles 0.75—2 mm (to 3 or rarely 6 mm in fruit), bracteoles (1) 1.25 –1.5 (2) mm, one (rarely both) bracteole per pair subtending each flower with one gland, bracteole gland (0.5) 0.75—1.5 mm, decurrent, pedicel 4--10 mm (to 13 mm in fruit). Flowers with sepal glands 2.5—3.5 mm, sepals extending 0--0.25 mm beyond glands, loosely cupping to more or less appressed to flower bud prior to anthesis, abaxial surface proximally and medially sericeous, marginally ciliate; ovary 3-locular, variously pubescent to nearly glabrous, styles connate, variously pubescent to nearly glabrous, stigma lobes 3, equal, connate. Mature fruit 13--20 mm de largo y  15--25 mm de ancho, 3-locular, globose or depressed globose, unlobed to weakly 3-lobed, with scattered trichomes to glabrescent, smooth, dull, orange to orange-red, apex usually rounded.
