The leaves are opposite and have short, hairy petioles. The leaf blade is broadly ovate, 2-3 cm long, finely serrated, leathery and shiny. The flowers are small and yellow, borne in terminal or axillary spikes. They flower in autumn, and the ripened black drupes contain 2-3 seeds. They are found in many sunlit areas on the coasts of warm regions, and are distributed from Shikoku and Kyushu to the Ryukyu Islands, mainland China, and even the Himalayas.
