An erect, slender, much branched shrublet, 30-70 cm high. Young branches reddish to brownish, rather densely puberulent; later glabrescent, defoliated, and marked with small but prominent leaf-scars; finally dark ash-grey to blackish and comparatively smooth. Leaves rather sparsely set, patent to erecto-patent, not imbricated; petiole 0.5-1 mm long, more or less appressed, yellowish; blade oblong, 3-7 x 1.3-1.8 mm, obtuse, with thin, somewhat revolute, often ciliate margins, often rolling when dry, dull green and smooth above, pale green with 10-40 rather inconspicuous glandular dots below (rarely eglandular). Uppermost leaves hardly changed in shape, not forming an involucre. Flowers on 3-6(-10) mm long and c. 0.6 mm thick, glabrous or slightly puberulent, yellowish to reddish pedicels in 3-7 flowered corymbs or umbels which tend in be crowded in rich-flowered terminal synflorescences. Bracts broadly oblanceolate, 1.8-3.2 x 0.8-1.4 mm, obtuse, glabrous, mainly green, inconspicuously glandular-punctate. Bracteoles attached close to the calyx and often appressed to it, lanceolate. 1.0-1.8x c. 0.5 mm, glabrous, the upper part sometimes subcarinate and slightly thickened. Calyx 2.0-3.5 mm, divided to 50-60% (but coalescence lines visible to the base of the calyx), glabrous, inconspicuously glandular-punctate, usually green; segments broadly ovate, 1.2-1.0 x 1.3-2.1 mm, somewhat overlapping, obtuse. Petals white or pink inside, darker pink outside (buds conspicuously pink to red), glabrous; claw 1-1.5 mm long; limb broadly elliptic to orbicular, 3.3-5.2 x 3.0-4.8 mm, obtuse. Staminodes 2.0-2.5 mm long, erect, slender, pale yellowish, very gradually tapering from the glabrous base, patently pilose for most of their length, apically rather abruptly expanded into a capitate, glabrous, reddish gland c. 0.3 mm across. Stamens: filaments subulate, 0.8-1.5 mm long, slightly incurved, glabrous at the base, patently pilose for most of their length, pale yellowish; anthers ovoid to broadly elliptic, dorsifixed, versatile, 1.0-1.4 x 0.7-1.0 mm, dark brown, slightly pilose, tipped by a shortly stipitate, capitate to globose gland c. 0.3 mm across. Ovary semiglobose (i.e., more or less flat-topped), c. 1 mm across, glabrous, pale, the upper part bullate to papillate, but eglandular; style c. 1 mm long, stout, recurved; stigma capitate to discoid, pale olive- brown. Mature capsule more than twice as long as the calyx, somewhat bullate, not transversely rugose, roughly crenate on the upper margins, brownish- green. Seeds ovoid to narrowly ovoid, 2.8-3.3 x 1.5-1.9 mm. From: Strid, PAK. 1972. Revision of the genus Adenandra (Rutaceae). Opera Bot. 32: 1-112. [All rights reserved]
Aromatic, sparsely leafy shrub to 70 cm. Leaves spreading, oblong, margins thin, slightly revolute. Flowers 3-7 in loose corymbs, often 2 or more per branch tip, white or pink, darker pink outside.

A. multiflora is a distinct and rather invariable species recognized by its erect, slender, much-branched habit, small, oblong leaves, and numerous small flowers which tend to aggregate in loose synflorescences. The calyx is very short with obtuse segments (less than half as long as the mature capsule). Contrary to most species in the genus, the petals are sometimes pink on both sides. All floral structures such as petals, staminodes, and stamens are noticeably small. The closest relative is apparently A. coriacea which is also characterized by bracteoles attached close to the calyx, short, obtuse calyx segments, papillate but eglandular ovary, and protruding capsule. A. multiflora differs in its erect habit, smaller and more sparsely glandular-punctate leaves, and much smaller and more numerous flowers. It is apparently restricted to altitudes between 500 and 1500 feet, whereas A. coriacea is a plant of rather high altitudes (2000-6000 feet). From: Strid, PAK. 1972.
