Leaves opposite becoming alternate upwards, axillary leaf tufts often small or wanting, largest primary leaves 7-25 x 2.5-9 mm, elliptic to oblanceolate, apex obtuse to subacute (the broader the leaf the more obtuse the tip), base tapering to form a petiolar part accounting for up to c. 1/3 total leaf length, margins entire or with up to 4 pairs of small teeth, lowermost pair occasionally reaching c.halfway to midrib, both surfaces glandular-puberulous, hairs up to 0.1-0.2 mm long, sometimes less than 0.1 mm, glistening glands as well. Flowers solitary in the axils of the upper leaves, these rapidly becoming smaller and passing into bracts, forming long racemes or panicles. Pedicels up to 7-26 mm long. Calyx tube 0.2-0.3 mm long, lobes 2.1-5 x 0.5-1 mm, lanceolate-oblong to subspathulate, glandular-puberulous, hairs up to 0.1-0.2 mm long, glistening glands as well. Corolla tube (7-)9.5-12(-17) x 1.8-2.2 mm in throat, cylindric, abruptly expanded near apex, limb oblique, 8-18 mm across lateral lobes, posticous lobes 3.5-8 x 2.7-4.5 mm, anticous lobes.3-8.5 x 2.4-5 mm, all lobes cuneate-oblong, ± truncate to retuse, glandular-puberulous outside, hairs up to 0.15-0.2 mm long, glistening glands as well, transverse band of clavate hairs in throat extending briefly onto lower lip, lobes usually white, very rarely cream or yellow, throat yellow to orange, the colour sometimes radiating onto base of lobes, these sometimes also marked with a light blueish streak. Stamens: posticous filaments c. 1-2 mm long, anthers 0.8-1.3 mm; anticous filaments 0.5-1 mm long, anthers 0.5-0.8 mm, all filaments glandular-puberulous. Stigma 0.2-0.3 mm long. Style (5-)7-10(-14) mm long. Ovary c. 2-3 x 0.8-1.2 mm. Capsules 4-9 x 3-3.4 mm, glistening glands all over, often minute glandular hairs as well. Seeds c. 0.6-0.7 x 0.3-0.5 mm.
