The leaves are elliptic to egg-shaped, stiff, prickly, scalloped edges, 4–12 cm (1.6–4.7 in) long, 2–6 cm (0.79–2.36 in) wide. The green-grey leaves have distinctive venation above and below and taper on long stalks to the leaf base . The single inflorescence consist of 12-21 sweetly scented cream-white flowers in a raceme on smooth pedicel. The perianth is cream-white and the pistil 3–4 mm (0.12–0.16 in) long. Fruit are obliquely ovoid 2–3 cm (0.8–1 in) long by 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) wide with smooth slightly rough blister like protrusions on the surface ending with an upturned beak. Flowering occurs from July to October.
