Leaves not fascicled, spreading; petiole 0–2 mm; blade flat to ± cupped or weakly folded lengthwise, elliptic to ± oblong or obovate, 10–20 × 5–12 mm, base obtuse to cuneate, margins thick or slightly revolute, slightly wavy, spinose-dentate, teeth 5–9(–11), apex sharply acute or retuse with an apical tooth, abaxial surface grayish green, veins strigillose, adaxial surface green, glabrous. Inflorescences axillary, 1.2–2.5 cm. Flowers: sepals and petals deep blue to purple; nectary dark blue or purple. Capsules 5–6 mm wide, lobed; valves smooth, crested, horns subapical, prominent, erect, intermediate ridges weakly developed. 2n = 24.
