Shrubs, bushy, sometimes straggling, from about 1-3.5 m tall, ultimate twigs terete to subcompressed, angled or fluted, densely tomentose to glabrous in parts, the scaly stellate tomentum rubbing off easily, internodes usually short, leaf-and stipule-bases prominent. Leaves discolorous, sinuate-1obed with the lobes again crenate, undulate, oblong to ovate-oblong, narrowing slightly to a broad apex and broadly cuneate to rounded or cordate at base, 1.2-6 cm long, 0.2-2.6 cm broad, upper surface tomentulose with short hairs, rugose, lower surface rusty scaly tomentose, reticulate; petiole 0.2-1.3 cm long, scaly tomentose; stipule a prominent interpetiolar ridge. Inflorescence a terminal panicle of cymes; cymes congested, the ultimate forming subglobose heads of 9 or more flowers. Calyx about 2/3 as long as the corolla more or less 2 mm long, stellate tomentose without, glabrous within, lobed to just below the middle. Corolla 'yellowish' to 'bright yellow', about 3 mm long, lobed to just below the middle, stellate-tomentose where e x posed between calyx lobes, but glabrescent towards the margins of the lobes without, glabrous within. Stamens with the free portions of the filaments about 1-5 mm long, exserted; anthers yellow, connective glabrous, cells diverging at base but not confluent at apex. Ovary stellate-tomentose, more or less rounded at top; style glabrescent, from about 0.5-1 mm long, eventually exserted; stigma terminal, conical, exserted. Capsule tomentose, tomentum rubbing off in parts, exserted by about a third from the persistent calyx (and for some time corolla persistent too).

Shrub, bushy, sometimes straggling, 1.2-3.5 m high, ultimate twigs terete to subcompressed, angled or fluted, with scaly stellate tomentum, internodes short, leaf-and stipule bases prominent. Leaves petioled, discolorous, greyish green, tomentulose with short hairs, rugose above, rusty scaly tomentose, reticulate beneath; blade oblong to ovate-oblong, narrowing slightly to a broad apex, broadly cuneate, rounded or cordate at base, margins sinuate-lobed, with lobes again crenate, undulate. Inflorescences terminal panicles of congested cymes, ultimately forming subglobose heads of 9 or more flowers. Flowers yellowish to bright yellow.
Shrub to 4 m. Leaves petiolate, discolorous, ovate, margins incised and crenate. Flowers in pea-like glomerules in panicles, cup-shaped, yellow.
