Inflorescences moderately compact to lax, subumbellate to corymbose, 1.5–4.5 cm across (excluding corollas); primary inflorescence branches up to 15 mm long, pubescent; secondary and tertiary branches present or absent; pedicels 1–7 mm long, pubescent; often elements of inflorescence present in axils of subterminal leaves, occasionally such inflorescence elements are provided with a pair of rudimentary leaves; bracts 3–5 mm long, stipule-like in texture.
Calyx tube often drying blackish, c. 1 mm long, pubescent; limb-tube c. 0.5 mm long, pubescent; lobes 4–8 × 0.75–1 mm, linear-lanceolate or linear-triangular to narrowly triangular or sometimes linear, pubescent or rarely glabrous.
Inflorescence-supporting branches (2)6–16.5 cm long, sometimes with 1(2) naked nodes at ± mid-point, bearing 2(3) pairs of leaves near the apex but these are usually spaced so that the stipules scarcely overlap.
Corolla tube 1–1.8 cm long, c. 1 mm wide at the top, glabrous outside, not bearded at the throat; lobes 5–6.5 × 1.5–2.5 mm, oblong, apex obtuse to acuminate.
Subshrub or shrub 0.5–2(3–4) m tall; young branches glabrous or sparsely pubescent; older branches with greyish-buff bark.
Fruit black or greenish-grey, 5–8 mm in diameter, glabrescent; calyx limb persistent; pedicels somewhat accrescent.
Seeds dark grey, c. 4 mm in diameter, rugulose on convex face.
