Characteristics

A climber, up to 6 m. tall, the younger branches densely pubescent, the older ones less so and sometimes later glabrescent, but the indumentum is apparently retained longer than in some species.. Leaves simple, opposite or sub-opposite; blades ovate to oblong-ovate, subacute, acute, or shortly acuminate, often shortly apiculate, variable in size even on the same branch but well-formed ones 3–8 cm. long and 1.5–4.2 cm. broad, more or less densely pubescent on both surfaces, midrib and main veins usually slightly impressed on upper and prominent on lower surface; petiole 2–12 mm. long, densely pubescent, not obviously articulated.. Inflorescences terminal or lateral, 1–5-flowered, with the branches and pedicels more or less densely pubescent; pedicels 1–1.8 cm. long at anthesis.. Calyx generally strongly pubescent; lobes slender, subulate, 3–9 mm. long.. Corolla fragrant, white (or creamy or greenish-white), the tube sometimes red; tube 2.0–2.2 cm. long.
