Small, very branched shrub. Branchlets longish (2-3 mm) +-patently rufous-setose in the younger, +-obtusely angled parts. Leaves suborbicular to broad-elliptic, apex subacuminate or mostly +-obtuse, the terminal gland thick and protruding, base broadly attenuate to rounded, or cuneate in the elliptic ones, firmly subcoriaceous, revolute at the finely crenulate margin, each tooth ending in a fine, longish, rather persistent bristle, rather shining above, glabrous above, +-laxly punctate beneath by the remaining bases of early caducous bristle-like hairs, 1.3-3.3 by (1-)1.2-2.9 cm, midrib impressed above, raised beneath, nerves 2-3 pairs coming from and from somewhat above the base of the lamina, curved-ascendent and anastomosing, slightly impressed above, visibly raised beneath, other nerves from the upper 2/3 of the midrib rather inconspicuous; petiole stout, setose, 1.5-3 mm. Flowers axillary, solitary. Pedicels rather slender, laxly appressed-setulose, or muriculate, 8-10(-12) mm. Bracteoles suborbicular-ovate, obtuse, glabrous dorsally, shortly glandular-fimbriate or-muriculate, c. 1.8 mm. Calyx 3-4 mm, glabrous, rugulose-muriculate externally, lobes ovate, acute, 2.5 mm, glandular-fimbriate. Corolla urceolate, slightly contracted apically, red, somewhat fleshy, glabrous, c. 9 by 3.5 mm, lobes obtuse, 1 mm.
