Stems erect, to 100 cm, puberulent. Leaves: petiole 15–40 mm; blade elliptic to ovate, 2–6 cm. Inflorescences open racemes, axis recurved only at tip in bud, straight 4+ nodes distal to open flowers; buds pendent, fusi­form, base slightly swollen, tip acute. Flowers: floral tube 2–4 mm; sepals reflexed individ­ually; corolla rotate, petals lavender-pink, often dark-flecked, obdeltate to suborbiculate, unlobed, 13–19 ×7–12 mm, length 1.6–2 times width; stamens 8, sub­equal, sub­tended by ciliate scales, pollen blue-gray; ovary shallowly 4-grooved, puberulent; stigma ex­serted beyond an­thers.
