[2] Yvonne Su and Richard Saunders, the botanists who first formally described the species, named it after the island of Mindoro where the specimen they examined was collected in the municipality of Puerto Galera.

Its sparsely hairy petioles are 6-10 by 1–2.5 millimeters with a broad groove on their upper side.

Its Inflorescences occur in groups of 2–4 on branches, and are organized on densely hairy peduncles that are 3-4 by 0.8-0.9 millimeters.

The yellow, oval, outer petals are 2.5-3.5 by 2.5-3 millimeters with hairless upper and very densely hairy lower surfaces.

The fruit occur in clusters of up to 4 and are organized on densely hair peduncles that are 2-4 by 1 millimeters.

[4] It has been observed growing in dry habitats, in deciduous forests at low elevations.
