This species is readily recognized by its leaves lanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate with attenuate bases, setose at the apices, short petioles, campanulate-oblong hypanthia, and long-triangular sepals. The branches, leaves, hypanthia, and sepals are green-reddish to reddish and moderately covered with glandular trichomes. Moreover, the stamens are dimorphic and bicolorous with tetrasporangiate anthers.
