The panicle has 2 to 6 spikelike, erect, puberulent, and 3-angled branches. The flower bracts are broadly ovate in shape with puberulent hairs and shiny. It also have filiform pedicels which are curved and puberulent. The abaxial surfaces of leaf blades are glabrous or scabrous and occasionally pubescent or puberulent. The young twigs are covered with very fine hairs (puberulent). Trumpet-like widened; limb 2-lipped, upper lip short, erect, puberulent, lower lip long, concave. The upper florets are puberulent at the bases and apices. The perianth is glabrous or puberulent outside and densely pubescent inside. The adaxial surfaces of leaf blades are typically scabrous, though occasionally are hirsute or puberulent. This is a small to medium tree, often with multiple trunks, puberulent to glabrescent stems. Calyx campanulate, puberulent, with margins almost entire. The blades range from glabrous to puberulent and have scabrescent, or slightly rough, margins.
