Leaves linear or linear-lanceolate and folded, up to 100 x 45 mm, base occasionally asymmetric, apex apiculate, margins irregularly crispate. Flowers (2)3-7 in contracted cymes; peduncles 5-30 mm long; pedicels 4.5-6.5 mm long. Corolla cylindrically urceolate, 25-50 mm long; tube straight or slightly curved, 16-34 mm long with a globose basal inflation 5-9 mm in diam., inflated at mouth; lobes broadly oblong to narrowly lanceolate, 9.0-13.5 x 3.0-4.5 mm, margins strongly folded back and apically connivent, forming a cap-like or rounded cage over mouth; colour variable, tube pale green with purple markings, striped inside, inner surface of lobes with purple-brown reticulations and long purple hairs at base. Corona: interstaminal corona lobes dorso-ventrally flattened and erect, connate to each other and adnate to staminal corona to create 1.5-2.8 mm deep, fluted pockets, level or just overtopping style-stigma-head; staminal corona lobes fused basally to interstaminal corona, incumbent on anther backs and connivent over style-stigma-head.
