''. It is a small tree that grows up to 15 m. In Sundanese, this tree is called "''ki beusi''". The name 'Silverback' was given due to the silvery underside of the leaves for individuals growing in open country.

The fruits are berries that turn from green to red then black when mature. Each has 3–8 seeds.
