The young branches are quadrangular, and covered with a whitish tomentum, bearing sessile lanceolate leaves 10 – 16 cm long by 2.5 – 4.5 cm wide, membranaceous, glabrescent above, and lanose below. The cream or white inflorescence is 10 – 20 cm long. The sessile perfect flowers occur in pairs of cymes, each with 3 – 12 flowers, borne in the axils of the reduced leaves or bracts. The tubular corolla is 15 – 20 mm long.[1]

gollark: I just think it's cool to see how much work from various people must have been invested in breeding, say, 31G lineages like my aeon has.
