Frutex Folia lanceolato-elliptica utrinque aequaliter attenuata, brevissime obtusata remote serrulata, basin versus integra, petiolata; Petiolus 5 mm. longus vel brevior, incrassatus supra sulcatus, peridermis saepe transverse striata fusca; lamina 85/33 65/24 100/36 vel paullo breviora glabrata chartacea; Inflorescentiae axillares 6 mm. lg. 1,25 mm cr.; bracteis late ovalibus vel deltoideis glabris; perigonium e foliolis forma et magnitudine diversis constans, aliis linearibus, aliis spathulatis plus minus incisis irregulariter incisis cupula brevioribus tenuibus; cupula campanulata latior quam longa bractea brevior; Stamen cupulam vix superans, in parte tertia inferiore affixum, antheris ellipsoideis transversis, connectivo inter ambas partes haud distincte inflato sed more thymi leviter dilatato, filamento triplo longiore; Ovarium late ellipticum, stylus nullus, stigmata inconspicua tria sessilia; Bacca (?) elliptico-rotundata breviter stipitata monosperma; Fructex 1-2
Species affinis L. serrulato foliis serrulatis sed multo majoribus, inflorescentiis numerosioribus brevioribus, affinis L. floribundo a quo differt stipulis longioribus ad 9-10mm. longis, amentis densius segregatis brevioribus 6 mm. longis.
Shrub Leaf lanceolate-elliptical, both sides equal, tapering gradually to a narrow extremely short obtuse tip, somewhat scattered margin serrations, base almost entire, petiolate; Petiole 5 mm long or shorter, thickened upper side grooved, outer side often transversely grooved, dark brown colour; Leaf blade 2.58-2.70-2.78 or a little shorter, hairless, papery; Inflorescence axillary; 6 mm long, 1.25 mm wide; bracts broadly oval to delta shaped, hairless; perigonium and leaf shape both size and diversity uniform, some linear some spathulate, more or less incised, irregular incised, cup short slender bell shaped wide as much as long, bracts short; Stamen barely longer than cup, lower third partly attached to cup, anther ellipsoid transverse, connective between the two parts by no means distinct swollen but slightly wider, filament longer and triple; Ovary broadly elliptical, style absent, stigma sessile inconspicous, three; Berry(?) elliptical-rounded short stalk one seed;
Species affinity L. serrulato leaf serrulate but many greater parts, smaller inflorescence number, affinity L. floribundo distinguished by stipule length 9-10mm long, catkin dense separated short 6 mm long.
