It has smooth bark,<ref name="Jstor" /> although new growth is covered in fine hair. The small, narrow leaves are {{convert|1.2|-|2|mm|in|frac=32||abbr=off}} wide and {{convert|3.5|-|10|mm|in|frac=8}} long, with a convex upper surface and margins curved downwards. New leaves can be hairless or slightly hairy; if the latter, they lose the hair with age.
