Leafl. W. Bot. 1: 115. 1934 ,.
Shrubs, erect, 1–3 m; burl absent; twigs densely glandular-hairy, puberulent, or finely tomentose with sessile glands.

Inflorescences panicles, 2–5-branched; immature inflorescence pendent, branches spreading, axis 1–2 cm, 1+ mm diam., finely glandular-hairy, puberulent, or finely tomentose; bracts not fully appressed, scalelike, deltate to awl-like, 2–4 mm, apex acute, surfaces finely glandular-hairy, puberulent, or finely tomentose.
