Small to medium-sized tree with forest specimens usually much larger. Leaves alternate, crowded near the ends of branches, oblanceolate to obovate-elliptic, glossy dark green above, densely covered in golden-brown velvety hairs below, entirely obscuring the lateral veins but midrib prominent. Flowers in small dense clusters on the old leaf scars along branches, pinkish-brown. Fruit fleshy, ovoid with a sharp tip, bright red when ripe.
