[1] Found in the Indo-West Pacific region within the Indomalaya biome in the Sunda Shelf mangroves ecoregion, the hybrid is widespread and shares many characters of its parents.

Leaf blade is obovate elliptic with light green midrib and dense black dots at under surface.

Inflorescence is branched 1-2 times with 2-4 buds borne on short peduncle.

Petals are white and slightly hairy with style 2–3 mm long.

Analysis using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography showed that there was great similarity in chemical constituents of leaves of the hybrid compared to those of its parents (Chan & Wong, 2009).
