Botanic information
Leaf: The leathery textured leaves are oblong to ovate up to 40 mm (1? in) wide with a petiole up to 60 mm (2? in)long and both surfaces are densely covered in tawny-tomentose particularly the underside. The leaves are stress deciduous under harsh conditions.

Flower: The tiny bisexual campanulate flowers have 6-oblong tepals and exserted stamens. There are 5-20 arranged in an umbel-like inflorescence that is held above the foliage and appears predominantly during summer and sporadically throughout the year.

Fruit: The tiny 3-angled ovoid glabrous achene is brown and is normally enclosed in the persistent perianth segments. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
