This is a little, much-branched shrub. The leaves resemble in 
some way those of certain oaks. The flowers are more distinctly 
bilabiate than in many other species of the Polynesian group; 
the disk below the cvary is rather large compared with the small 
ovary. The berry has a tendency towards becoming obconical, 
outgrows the calyx in diameter, and exceeds by far the small 
bracts, which are free to the base. On the whole it is a some- 
what aberrant type among the “ Parviflore " of the Polynesia.
