7m. Shrub or small tree growing from sea level to about 750m in scrub and forest.  The leaf is large, somewhat leathery, dull, broad and ovate-oblong in shape, with a white, close, appressed tomentum below.  Referred to as 'bushmans toilet paper'.

The leaves are poisonous if chewed or swallowed, potent enough to kill a horse.

Flowers prolifically and very fragrant.
