This species is a shrub or tree growing up to 7 meters tall. It is covered in prickles. The leaves are up to 18 centimeters long and are divided into several leaflets. Flowers are borne in cymes. Each has three sepals and three petals. The round, glandular fruits are borne in clusters.[2]
This plant grows on coastal hammocks, beaches, maritime woodlands and scrub. The rocky substrate contains limestone. Associated species include Metopium toxiferum, Coccoloba uvifera, Ardisia escallonioides, Guapira discolor, and Psychotria nervosa.[2]
