Leaves shortly petiolate; blade obovate-cuneate to oblong, narrowly oblong or oblong-elliptic, apex rounded and mucronate or subtruncate and lobed, base rounded, roughly pubescent as described above; 7-35 mm long and from almost as broad to about four times as long as broad. Inflorescence of 1-2-flowered cymes, densely to subdensely clustered at apices of branchlets; bracts linear to subulate. Calyx inflated, urceolate, laxly or subdensely stellate-hairy.
