The top of the leaflet is acuminate and the base tapered or wedge-pointed. There are 7–16 lateral veins on each side, and the midribs are convex on both sides of the leaf. The edge of the leaf has blunt teeth, with oil glands in the teeth. The flowers are yellow and form axillary panicles; the peduncle is 3 mm long.
