Botanic information
Leaf: The glossy green ovate to elliptical leaves have a puffed appearance on the upper surface with deeply depressed veins and the undersides are lighter green with a long petiole.

Flower: The crimson salverform flowers are short lived but the cream coloured 4-angled calyx persists on the plant. They are arranged in terminal or axillary panicle and appear during summer.

Fruit: The small drupe is embedded in the papery calyx. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
