Its leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, narrow elliptical, up 60 60 mm (2.4 in) long, 5–13 mm (0.20–0.51 in) wide and covered with woolly hairs on the lower side. The flowers are usually arranged singly in leaf axils on a down-turned stalk 8–22 mm (0.31–0.87 in) long. The calyx is hemispherical to shortly cup-shaped, 3–5 mm (0.12–0.20 in) long, covered with woolly, rust-coloured hairs and with a wavy rim.
