Thyrses continuous, cylindric, (1–)2–9 cm, axis glabrous or sparsely puberulent, glutinous, verticillasters 2–8, cymes 2–6-flowered, 2 per node; proximal bracts lanceolate, 16–58 × 3–12 mm, margins dentate; peduncles and pedicels erect, glabrous or puberulent, glutinous. Flowers: calyx lobes ovate to lanceolate, 4.5–8.4 × 1.6–3 mm, glutinous; corolla white to lavender, with reddish purple nectar guides, tubular-funnelform, 11–15(–18) mm, glabrous externally, sparsely white-pilose internally abaxially, tube 6–7 mm, throat gradually inflated, 3–5 mm diam., rounded abaxially; stamens included, pollen sacs opposite, navicular to subexplanate, 0.8–0.9 mm, dehiscing completely, connective splitting, sides glabrous, sutures smooth; staminode 7–10 mm, included, 0.6–0.8 mm diam., tip slightly recurved, distal 0.5–2.5 mm sparsely pilose, hairs white, to 0.5 mm; style 7–8 mm. Capsules 5–8 × 4–5 mm, glabrous. 2n = 16.
