Information

Annual with twining or prostrate, slender, patently pubescent stems. Leaf lamina triangular-ovate, 4–9 × 3–5·5 cm., entire, cordate at base with the basal lobes rounded, acuminate at the mucronate apex, sparsely pilose and ciliate at the margin; petiole 1·5–5 cm. long, slender, pilose to hispidulous like the stems. Flowers axillary, solitary or in 2–5 flowered cymes, sessile or with peduncle up to 10 mm long; pedicels 3–8 mm. long; bracteoles minute, lanceolate, up to 2·5 mm. long, pilose. Sepals unequal, herbaceous to subcoriaceous, ovate triangular, acute or acuminate at the apex, contracted or rounded below, hairy to glabrescent, accrescent in fruit; the outer three 4–6·5 mm. long, with ciliate margins; the inner two linear-oblong, more or less 4 mm. long, less ciliate. Corolla funnel-shaped, white or with purple centre, 6–9 mm. long, midpetaline areas distinct, pilose outside mainly towards the tips. Ovary glabrous, style short; stigmas purplish. Capsule ovoid, glabrous, cuspidate by the persistent style-base. Seeds subtrigonous, shortly brownish or greyish-pubescent.
