Flowers violet-scented; distinctly pedicillate; pedicels 2–3 cm, puberulent or pilose with mixed glandular, eglandular hairs; sepals green or suffused with rose or purple, 7–8 mm, pubescent with mixture of glandular, eglandular hairs; petals distinct, bright blue, broadly ovate, not clawed, 13–14 mm; stamens free; filaments bearded.
