Flowers solitary in the axils of the leaves, sometimes running up into nearly nude racemes. Pedicels up to 5-16 mm long. Calyx tube 0.1-0.2 mm long, lobes 2-4 x 0.5-1 mm, ± oblong, glandular-pubescent, hairs up to 0.2-0.3 mm long, glistening glands as well. Corolla tube 8-14.5 x 1.5-2 mm in throat, cylindric, abruptly expanded near apex, limb oblique, 10-15 mm across lateral lobes, posticous lobes 5-8 x 1.5-3 mm, anticous lobe 4.5-8 x 1.8-3.8 mm, all lobes cuneate-oblong, ± truncate or retuse, glandular-pubescent outside, hairs up to 0.25-0.3 mm long, glistening glands as well mainly on backs of lobes, transverse band of clavate hairs in throat extending very briefly onto base of lower lip, lobes white or cream, throat yellow, sometimes a dark violet median streak at base of each lobe. Stamens: posticous fdaments 1-1.2 mm long, anthers 0.7-1.1 mm, anticous filaments 0.3-0.6 mm long, anthers 0.4-0.8 mm, all filaments minutely puberulous. Stigma c. 0.2 mm long. Style 5.5-12 mm.
