Mueller described the plant from a specimen collected by Stephen Johnson on the Russell River in Queensland.[4]
Branchlets appressedly almost sericiously pubescent ; leaves on short petioles or almost sessile, chartaceous, mostly ovate-lanceolar, short-acuminate, at the base rounded-blunt, above nearly glabrous, beneath particularly along the costules and venules beset with very short hairlets ; stipules almost deltoid, incised at the apex, soon deciduous; panicles with cymous or fasciculate flowers, appressedly short-pubescent ; lobes of the calyx deltoid-semilanceolar ; corolla-tube about thrice as long as the calyx-lobes, sparingly puberulous inside, slightly constricted at the upper end ; corolla-lobes nearly glabrous, not much shorter than the tube ; stamens fixed close to the base of the corolla and nearly as long as its tube, completely enclosed, as well as the style glabrous; dehiscence of fruit more readily loculicidal than septicidal; seeds minute, ovate, outside brown and reticular-rough. Leaves simply opposite, to 5 inches long, to 134 inches broad, flat, paler and often brownish beneath. Panicle terminal, inclusive.[4]
