with prominent divaricate hairs. Leaves are broad-ovate to ovate,
hairy, 1.2-2.5cm long, with obtuse tips, rounded serrations on
margins, sparse divaricate hairs - with no glandular spots - on both
uppersides and backsides. Flowers set themselves on stem tips facing
the same direction; corollas are light purple, approximately 2cm
long, bending erect at the bases of tubular portions. Bloom time:
