Their tip is blunt, the base wedge-shaped or narrowed. The leaf margin is whole to flat or irregularly notched.
Generative characteristics
The inflorescence is a little-flowered cyme . The upright flowers are on 1.5 to 4 millimeter long peduncles . Your calyx tube is about 0.2 millimeters long. Their triangular to linear-triangular calyx tips are 2.5 to 2.8 millimeters long. The orange to red petals are spotted with purple longitudinal drawings. The cylindrical corolla tube is slightly inflated in the lower part and 12 to 14 millimeters long. Their egg-shaped, pointed corolla lobes are 3.5 to 6 millimeters long and 1.5 to 2 millimeters wide. The stamens are attached to the upper part of the corolla tube and do not protrude from the flower. The linear nectar flakes are 2 to 3 millimeters long.
