branching at the lower parts and spreading sideways. Leaves are
opposite on the lower portions and alternate on the upper parts, and
they are ovoid, 0.6-1cm in length and width, with 4-8 serrations on
the margins and sparse hairs on both sides of the leaves. Leaf axils
on upper parts emerge with one-centimeter peduncles on which single
3- 4 mm across flowers are light red-white, with red-purple stripes.
