The rhombic-ovate to lanceolate leaves are NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) long and NaNcm (-2,147,483,648inches) wide, with petioles slightly shorter than the leaves. The base of the leaves are acute, the leaf margins are entire, and the apex of the leaves are obtuse. The terminal and axillary inflorescences are short and thick, and reddish-green. The linear-lanceolate bracts are twice as long as the tepals. The pistillate flowers have five tepals and are NaNmm wide. The staminate flowers also have five tepals and grow at the tips of inflorescences. The utricles are NaNmm wide. The dark reddish to black seeds are 1mm wide and lenticular.
