Leaves: petiole to 3.5 mm long; lamina narrowly oblong or narrowly elliptic, mostly 2–5 cm long, recurved, rounded at apex, smooth to scabrous adaxially, fawn-tomentose abaxially. Flowers solitary, erect, terminal to short branchlets, with terminal leaves unmodified; pedicel 5–10 mm long, tomentose; bracteoles near-basal, linear to spathulate, 5–10 mm long, eventually caducous. Calyx hemi-spherical to cup-shaped, 2–4 mm long, thin, tomentose, 8-lobed; sepaline lobes linear, 3–7 mm long; intersepaline lobes linear to triangular, to 3 mm long. Corolla narrowly cylindrical, 1.8–2.7 cm long including the erect lobes, pink to red with green lobes, falling after anthesis. Stamens: antipetalous filaments slightly broader at base; anthers well exserted, 2–2.3 mm long, narrowly oblong to lanceolate, with margins recurved on drying.
