It can grow to 35 m (115 ft) tall and 90 cm (35 in) in diameter, with papery red-brown bark. Leaves are simple (i.e. undivided), arranged in opposite pairs, and measure up to 10 cm (3.9 in) long and 5 cm (2.0 in) wide. Attractive pink or mauve flowers are followed by purple fruit. It was first described in 1983 by the Australian botanist Bernard Hyland.[4][5]
