Leaves are opposite; blades measure 3-7cm long, 1-3cm wide, in a long oblong shape, with entire margins, tips not too sharp, and bases abruptly end as if cut off or broad wedge-shaped. Axils on the branch tips set 2 each of sweet-fragrant flowers, white or slightly light red at first but gradually turning yellow; corollas are labiate, 3-4cm long, tips of fine floral tubes cut in two, and the upper lips shallowly cleft in four.
