This species is a shrub tall, with ascending branches that are densely white and woolly on younger growth, becoming glabrous and brownish-purple with age. The leaves are subsessile or borne on short stalks, with fairly thick, rugose blades that are
elliptic to
ovate-elliptic, long. The upper surface is sparsely to fairly densely stellate-tomentose, while the lower surface is more densely woolly. The leaf margins are
crenate, with rounded to blunt tips and obtuse to wedge-shaped bases. ==Distribution and habitat==
