Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same green to bluish green colour on both sides, lance-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a petiole Шаблон:Cvt long. The flower buds are arranged in groups of seven in leaf axils on a peduncle Шаблон:Cvt long, the individual buds on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. Mature buds are oval to diamond-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide with a conical operculum. Flowering occurs between February and May and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, conical or hemispherical capsule Шаблон:Cvt long and Шаблон:Cvt wide on a pedicel up to Шаблон:Cvt long.[1][2][3]
