Adult leaves are arranged alternately, the same shade of glossy green on both sides, lance-shaped or curved, long and wide tapering to a petiole long. The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets on a branched peduncle long, each branch with groups of three or seven buds, the individual buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are oval to pear-shaped, long and wide with a r ...
