The leaf edges are minutely curved under, upper and lower surfaces have short, rigid bristles, upper surface wrinkled, lower surface with prominent veins. The greenish-yellow flowers are on a pedicel 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long, glandular and covered with short, soft hairs. The calyx 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) long, glandular with soft hairs on the outside and with a few scattered hairs on inner side toward apex. The lobes are narrowly egg-shaped, more or less scalloped with curved edges. The corolla 35–50 mm (1.4–2.0 in) long, tubular, greenish-yellow and a style 35–45 mm (1.4–1.8 in) long, protruding beyond the flower tube. Flowering occurs from July to November and the fruit is a dry drupe more or less elliptic-obovate shaped and 5–6 mm (0.20–0.24 in) long.[2][3][4]
