Shrub 1-3.5 m tall; young branches puberulous, with light brown bark. Leaves deciduous, borne on young or less often mature stems or on short spurs; blades 2.2-7 x 1-3.4 cm, narrowly elliptic to broadly elliptic in shape, obtuse at the apex or rarely subacuminate, acute at the base, papery to subcoriaceous, usually slightly shiny above, with cellular pattern usually visible (with x1o lens) on the surface, midrib prominent above, lateral and tertiary nerves apparent or somewhat obscure on both surfaces, marginal nerves apparent on lower surface only; lateral nerves in 4-6 main pairs; domatia with cavities incompletely or completely defined, sparsely pubescent to pubescent or occasionally absent; petiole 1-2.5 mm long; stipules 1.75-3.5 mm long altogether, triangular at the base, aristate above. Flowers 5-9(12)-merous, precocious or sometimes occurring with the leaves; 1(2) single-flowered inflorescences per axil or very occasionally with 2-3 flowers in a fascicled inflorescence; inflorescence stalks often covered with sticky exudate, 1-5 mm long, hidden by cupules or exposed; cupules 2-3, overlapping or not, with short foliar lobes; bracteolar cupule often present, ± truncate but deeply divided; bractlets scale-like, often numerous. Calyx limb shorter than or ± equalling the disk, repand to denticulate. Corolla tube 6-12 mm long, 2-4 mm wide at top; lobes 6-13 x 2-7 mm, rounded. Fruit purplish to black when mature (or red fide Palmer & Pitman loc. cit. supr.), 9-11 x 6 mm; whole stalks lengthening to 4-7 mm long. Seed fawn-coloured, 5-7 x 3-4 mm. From: Bridson, DM. 2003. 94.

Chevalier, in Cafeiers du Globe 3: 219 (1947), included the nomen C. klaurathii De Wild. (in Ann. Jard. Buitenz., Suppl. 3, 1: 372 (1910) under the synonymy of C. racemosa. Since the specimen on which C. klaurathii was based (Klaurath s.n., Bt) came from Iringa in Tanzania, this association is highly unlikely. This species is very polymorphic, especially with regard to the size, shape and number of corolla lobes. The leaves also vary in texture and in the type of domatia, but this may be due (in part at least) to the stage of growth at which they were collected. This coffee has been referred to as ‘Inhambane (or Inyambane) Coffee’ and is reputed to have been used by local settlers. Numerous collections from Mozambique are reported from cultivation.
