blade lanceolate, 3–7 cm × 5–15 mm, apex acute, glandular-tomentose throughout.

cymose, open, few-flowered, leafy, bracteate;

bracts resembling distal leaves.

open, leafy cymes, bracteate, viscid and glandular-tomentose, branches ascending, mostly floriferous, flowers terminal and at distal nodes;

bracts leaflike, 5–30 mm.

1–3(–4) cm, viscid, with long septate-glandular hairs.
