Shrubs, semidioecious, mainly (15–)20–30 dm, with striated twigs. Leaves mostly alternate, short petiolate; blade broadly ovate, rhombic to suborbiculate, (15–)30–65 mm, about as wide, thick, base cuneate, margin sinuate-dentate, apex obtuse to rounded. Staminate flowers crowded in glomerules on short or elongate, interrupted spikes in large paniculate clusters to 20 cm. Pistillate flowers in dense, compound panicles, or axillary, or along staminate panicle branches. Fruiting bracteoles sessile, reticulately veined, rhombic to orbiculate, 5–12(–15) × 5–11 mm, papery all over or thick and corky, margin subentire to coarsely few-toothed. Seeds brown, 2 mm wide.
