A variable species with stiff thick textured foliage dark glossy green above with varying shades of rusty brown indumentum on the undersides. Normally simple ovate-shaped when young, but varying from simple to tri-lobbed with maturity. Bearing terminal congested branched inflorescences of yellow-green flowers, maturing to large (for the genus) black fruit. Protect while young. Not tested for hardiness yet, best grown in a well drained compost with moisture retention, in good light
