1.5-5.5 cm-long petioles; the blades are broadly oval-shaped, 4-9cm
long, 2.5-7cm wide, and serrated. Branch tip set peduncle-less
flowers in a head-like way, bracts are leaf-like, 1-2cm long, in an
orbicular-oval shape, and calyxes cleft deeply in five. Both bracts
and calyxes have long hair, and corollas are 3-3.5cm long. Capsules
