Ooline is a very slow growing medium-sized tree that generally grows to 10 m high, but occasionally reaching 25 m. A particularly large specimen was recorded as being 28 m tall and with a 3.8 m circumference at breast height. The species has glossy leaves with prominent venation that grow to 2-4 cm long, 1.5-2 cm wide and with broadly rounded tips. The upper sides of the leaves are darker and glossier than the undersides. The white flowers are small and usually single. Each flower produces a cluster of up to five rounded, brown berries, 3-5 mm wide.
