Leave are oval-shaped or in the shape of a long-oblong-like lanceolate, 2-5cm in length, with sharp-pointed tips, and bases become narrower to grow into fine pedicles. Stem tips create drepanium inflorescences, setting some white flowers with as short as 1mm long pedicels. Corollas are funnel-shaped, tips cleft in five, measuring 1-5cm in length.
