The leaf blade is oblong-lanceolate, 3 to 4 centimeters long and about 1 centimeter wide. The leaf margin is entire, the leaf base wedge-shaped-rounded to rounded, the leaf end pointed. The upper side of the leaf is sparsely hairy with shaggy hair, the underside with downy hair. Ten lateral nerves are formed on each side of the median artery.[1]
The male inflorescences are 2.5 to 3, rarely up to 4 centimeters long, catkins . The peduncle is short and has one or two scaly, small leaves. The bracts are elongated or elliptical, downy hairy and ciliate and about half as long as the stamens. Male flowers have a short-cylindrical adaxial nectar gland. There will be two detached stamensformed, the stamens are finely haired near the base. The female catkins are about 3 centimeters long, when the fruit is ripe, 6 to 8 centimeters long and have a diameter of about 1.5 centimeters. The peduncle is about 1.5 centimeters long and has two or three small leaves. The bracts resemble those of the male inflorescences. Female flowers have an adaxial nectar gland. The ovary is narrow-ovate, finely hairy and long stalks, the stylus is short, the scar lapped four times. The fruits are slightly hairy capsules.[1]
