Plants 5–34 cm, sparsely [densely] stellate-pubescent to glabrescent and densely to sparsely capitate-glandular. Stems usually decumbent, rarely prostrate or erect, stellate-pubescent, conspicuously glandular. Leaves: stipule dimidiate-narrowly ovate or dimidiate-narrowly lanceolate, 2.5–5 × 0.5–2 mm, adaxially with simple, not stellate, hairs present; petiole 2–17 × 0.2–0.8 mm, glandular; blade red to red-rimmed adaxially, usually unlobed, rarely 2–4-lobuled basally, usually narrowly ovate to deltate, rarely widely ovate, 1–4 × 1–3 cm, base often rounded or truncate, rarely subcordate, margins usually dentate, sometimes serrate, terminal trichome at each tooth apex with 1 simple thin seta or setae 2-rayed, exserted to 2 times length of stellate trichomes of tooth sides, costal vein prominent adaxially, apex usually narrowly rounded or obtuse-rounded, rarely acute. Inflorescence subunits at leaf axils, 1 or 2-flowered, cymes probably strictly 2-flowered rather than solitary. Pedicels 1–3 mm. Flowers 6 × 6–12 mm fresh (when fully open), 6–10 mm wide dried; calyx 3.9–7 × 3.6–7.2 mm, stellate-hirsute, capitate-glandular hairs (0.4 mm) abaxially, adaxially glabrous within proximally, nectaries globular at calyx base and stamen base, tube 1–3 × 2.7–4.3 mm, lobes narrowly triangular, 1–2 mm wide, margins setose, apex acute, bristled, adaxially villulose, margin and apex trichome rays 1–3; corolla campanulate-rotate, aperture at midlength (fresh), petals spreading from erect base, yellow, orange basally, narrowly obovate, 6–8.2 × 2–3.6 mm, base clawed, claw not very distinct, narrowly obtriangular, 2.5–3.5 × 1–1.3 mm; lamina flat, slightly reflexed apically, apiculate base; ovary 2.5–3.4 × 1.8–3 mm, hirsute; gynophore 0.9–2 mm; ovules 4–10 per locule; styles connate completely, or distally or basally or completely distinct but contiguous in rehydrated specimens, or very distally distinct fresh, usually reflexed at apex, hirsutulous 2/3 of length, 1.7–3 mm; stigmas minutely recurved lobules, apices truncate, usually introrsely minutely few-papillate, rarely epapillate. Capsules stipitate, ellipsoid to oblong or obovoid, 10–20 mm, sparsely to densely stellate-pubescent; stipe 0.9–2 mm; valve margins undulate, exclusively and densely tuberculate, tubercles rigid, stout, columnar, 0.2–1.8 mm, stellate-pubescent along length, trichome at tubercle apex stellate-hispidulous, its trichome rays in one plane (spreading), compressed; fruit wall with exocarp membranaceous, mesocarp chartaceous, endocarp chartaceous, slightly sclerified, flexible, multifissured, calyx tube 1.7–3.5 mm wide in fruit; dehiscence loculicidal. Seeds 0–8 per cell, 1.4–1.9 × 1.3–1.6 × 0.8–1 mm, sinus linear-oblong, covered by narrowly transversely elliptic elaiosome; embryo arcuate (C-shaped); cotyledons oblong-elliptic, papillose, trichomes absent adaxially.
