Racemes erect, to 20 cm (usually less than 25 cm in fruit); sterile bracts 3+, ovate-spatulate, largest 1+ cm; flowers 15–40, loosely aggregated. Sepals 4. Petals (3 or)4(or 5), apex entire or erose; corolla blue, ± regular, campanulate, much longer than calyx, glabrous, tube conspicuous. Stamens epipetalous. Ovaries: ovules 10–16. Capsules glabrous.
