Leaves ascending, glabrous; petiole 1/2–1 1/4 lin. long; blade 1/2–2 in. long, 1/4– 2/3 in. broad, 2–5 times as long as broad, varying from narrowly lanceolate to oblong-elliptic, acute or obtuse and apiculate, cuneate or rounded at the base, pallid beneath. Cymes subaxillary, subsessile, or on peduncles up to 3/4 in. long, 3–16-flowered, not dense, trichotomous, 1/2– 3/4 in. in diam.; bracts 1/2–1 lin. long, ovate, obtuse; pedicels 1–1 1/2 lin. long. Sepals 2/3– 3/4 lin. long, oblong, obtuse, minutely ciliate at the apex. Corolla quite glabrous, yellowish-green, ovoid and rather acute or acuminate in bud; tube 2/3–1 lin. long, campanulate; lobes 1 1/3–1 3/4 lin. long, 2/3– 3/4 lin. broad, oblong or lanceolate, oblong, obtuse; sinus-pockets entire or produced into a minute tooth, not ciliate. Coronal-lobes inserted at the middle of the corolla-tube, 1/4– 1/3 lin. long, subrhomboid, subterete or clavate, obtuse or acute, fleshy. Anthers deltoid, very acuminate. Follicles diverging at an angle of about 80°, 3–3 3/4 in. long, about 1/4 in. thick, narrowly fusiform, gradually tapering from about the middle to a subacute point, glabrous. Seeds about 4 lin. long, 1 lin. broad, narrowly oblong, convex on one side, concave with a central ridge on the other, minutely scabrous.
