Leaf-blade entire, rounded-ovate to oblong-ovate, up to 12.5 cm. long and 17.5 cm. wide, cuspidate or emarginate at the apex, ± cordate at the base, glabrous above but with a finely granular tomentum beneath, reticulate beneath when young due to a dense tomentum on the main nerves; petiole 3.8–7.5 cm. long.. Flowers few in a lax cyme; peduncle short; bracts obovate, deciduous, 1.6 cm. long.. Sepals broadly oblong, subequal, 1.5 cm. long, very obtuse, thinly covered with scattered tomentum, strongly reflexed in fruit.. Corolla white, funnel-shaped, 8.8 cm. long, glabrous.. Capsule 16–22 mm. long, 12–16 mm. diameter.. Seeds brown, 7–9 mm. long, covered with very long whitish hairs.
A climbing shrub. It grows 10 m long. The stems are slender. The leaf blades are almost round. They are large, velvety and heart shaped. They have white hairs on the veins.

Climbing shrub, with white somewhat floccose tomentum. Leaves glabrescent beneath, becoming reticulate owing to dense tomentum on main nerves and veins. Flowers 65-145 mm long. Sepals broadly oblong, 15 mm long. Seeds with long hairs. Flowers white, cream or yellowish with mauve tube.
Sepals subequal, broadly oblong, 1·5 cm. long, obtuse, chartaceous, thinly covered with scattered tomentum, glabrescent, generally retaining the pubescence longest at the base, in fruit ultimately spreading to reflexed.
