The dense foliage consists of opposite leaves that are sessile or with short peduncles[verification needed]. They are mostly clustered at the tips of the branches. The leathery leaves have an oblanceolate, elliptic or obovate shape. The ovate and acuminate stipules are interpetiolar, fused at base.
