Corolla white or lilac to purple, with a deep orange throat, with erect lobes (2–)2·5–3·5 times as long as the calyx, 6–9 mm. long, outside tomentose, inside hirsute on the base of the lobes and within the tube, except for the glabrous base; tube nearly cylindrical, (1·4)2–2·7 times as long as the calyx, 2·5–3·2 times as long as the lobes, 4·2–6·8 mm. long, slightly widened towards the throat and there about 2 mm. wide; lobes suborbicular to oblong, 1·8–2·5 x 1·2–1·8 mm., rounded, entire, spreading.
Leaves opposite, sessile or shortly petiolate; petiole — if present — up to 7 mm. long; lamina narrowly ovate to narrowly oblong, (2–)4–6·5 times as long as wide, 4–17 x 0·8–4·5 cm., sometimes a little smaller, long–acuminate, with the apex acute, deeply cordate to auriculate at the base, crenate, bullate, finely and distinctly rugose and glabrescent above; venation conspicuous, reticulate.
Shrub or tree, 1-5 m high, sometimes up to 8 m high. Leaves subsessile, cordate to auricled at base, upper surface rugose. Interpetiolar leafy stipules present. Corolla tube long, cylindrical. Stamens included. Flowers cream, lilac, lavender-blue, purple or white with deep orange throat.
Willowy shrub or tree, up to 8 m tall. Leaves sessile, discolorous, lanceolate, margins crenate, base auriculate. Flowers in terminal, paniculate cymes, tubular with anthers included, white to purple with orange throat. Fruit an ellipsoid capsule.
Pistil 2·8–5 mm. long; ovary subglobose, laterally compressed, 1–1·2 x 1 x 0 8–1 mm., hirto–pubescent with stellate hairs, bilocular; style with stigma 2–3 mm. long, glabrescent; stigma large, clavate, often larger than the style.
Willowy shrub or tree to 8 m. Leaves sessile, discolorous, lanceolate, margins crenate, base auriculate. Flowers in terminal, paniculate cymes, tubular with anthers included, white to purple with orange throat.
Calyx campanulate, 2–3 mm. long; tube 1–3 times as long as the lobes; lobes subequal, broadly to rather narrowly triangular, 0·8–1·5 times as long as wide, 0·5–1·5 x 0·5–1 mm., acute, entire.
Branchlets white– or, (especially when dry) rusty–tomentose with stellate hairs as the leaves beneath, the peduncles, bracts beneath, and calyx and corolla outside.
Stamens included; filaments very short, inserted 3–4 mm. above the corolla base; anthers oblong, 0·8–1·5 x 0·3–0·5 mm., glabrous; cells parallel.
