It is an evergreen supporting shrub about 1.5 to 5 meters tall or as lianas up to 15 m high in trees, with slender, wine-purple pendulous branches arising from the base of the trunk with main branches that ascend in small plants and can be 1-6 m long and drooping in larger ones. Its leaves are simple, lanceolate in shape, usually have a reddish petiole, and are grouped in whorls of 3, 4, or rarely 5, with a firm texture, ranging from narrowly elliptic-ovate to ovate, 20-140 mm long, and 8-70 mm wide. The apex is acute to acuminate, the base is acute to rounded, and the surface can be hairless or hairy. The margin is smooth or sometimes serrated with glands, and there are 4-10 secondary veins on each side. The petioles are 1-3 mm thick and 3-35 mm long. The stipules are triangular, thin or thick, 0.8-3 mm long, and 0.4-3 mm wide, sometimes fused and often curved with age.
Like the other species in this section, its flowers solitary or rarely in pairs, terminal and axillary, pendulous, and have the nectary fused to the base of the hypanthus (tube), which is cylindrical and generally not longer than the large sepals, 5-16 mm long, and 3-7 mm wide, sometimes hairy outside. open and red. The stamens are reddish, long, and extend beyond the corolla. The pedicels are hanging, 10-55 mm long, usually wine-red. The ovary is oblong, 5-12 mm long, and 2-4 mm wide. The nectary is smooth or slightly ridged, 2.5-8 mm high. The sepals are 15-45 mm long, fused at the base for 3-14 mm, with free lobes 3-9 mm wide at the base, spreading to recurved or reflexed at flowering. Sepals red or rose. The petals are violet-fuchsia color, obovate to spathulate, 10-25 mm long, and 8-16 mm wide. The filaments are red-purple, 25-45 mm and 20-38 mm long, the anthers oblong and purplish, 2-5 mm long and 1-2 mm wide. The style is hairless to hairy at the base, with a clavate stigma, 2-6 mm long and 1-2 mm wide, extending 8-25 mm beyond the anthers. The fruit is a berry that comes from an ovary in a lower position is oblong, ellipsoid, or globose, 10-27 mm long, and 9-13 mm thick, turning dark purple when ripe. The seeds are tan, oblong to narrowly triangular, laterally compressed, 1.6-2.5 mm long, and 1-1.6 mm wide.. [2]
