The bark is smooth, grey, yellow or brownish and there are sometimes ribbons of shed bark hanging from the upper branches. The leaves on young plants and on coppice regrowth are arranged in opposite pairs near the ends of the stems, linear to narrow lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long, Шаблон:Cvt wide and glossy green. Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped to slightly curved, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petioleШаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of three or seven on an unbranched peduncleШаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicelШаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are club-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a rounded to flattened and warty operculum. Flowering occurs from March to June and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, bell-shaped capsuleШаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide, with the valves below the rim.[1][2][3]
