Stem suffruticose, slender, erect or ascending, clothed
with a brown bark that scales off, much branched:
branches slender, erect or ascending, thickly clothed
with short villous hairs, that are more or less viscous,
giving a grey or hoary appearance. Leaves opposite on
the lower part of the stem, the upper ones alternate,
linear or sometimes lanceolately linear, revolute at the
margins, thickly clothed with short viscous hairs, of a
dark green colour, but they appear rather hoary from
the hairs with which they are covered, upper ones shorter
and blunter. Petioles very short. Stipules on the
lower leaves small, subulate, fleshy, pubescent: on the
upper ones longer and larger, spreading, and bluntish,
villous. Flowers axillary, solitary, terminating the branches
in a sort of raceme, that is at first a little nodding,
but as the flowers expand, it becomes upright. Pedicles
villosely viscous. Calyx of 5 sepals, clothed with short
