Botanic information
Leaf: The pubescent thin textured leaves are elliptical to broadly ovate, up to 80 mm (3⅛ in) wide with an abrupt accuminate apex. The margins are serrulate and the base is cordate with a slender yellowish petiole that is up to 70 mm (2⅔ in) long. When young the leaves are purple tinged and mature variegated in white or pink in the upper half. This is a feature of the plant.

Flower: The male and female crateriform flowers have 5-ovate sepals and 5-obovate petals that are up to 10 mm long with yellow anthers. They appear on different plants (dioecious) and 1-3 flowers arranged in a cyme with a slender pendant pubescent pedestal and appear during early summer. 

Fruit: The small ovoid glabrous fruit is pale orange when mature and contains tiny seeds up to 2 mm wide. The small seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
