The leaves on the stem are alternately arranged in most species. Flowers are solitary or borne in cymes. The corolla of the flower is bell-shaped, funnel-shaped, or tubular, with five lobes. [3] The corollas of most species are blue. [2] There is a characteristic nectar disc at the base of the stamens. [3]
