from leaves to floral bracts abrupt, or gradual. 
Floral bracts elliptical or ovate, 8-22 mm long, 
3-9 mm wide, not consistently exceeding 
verticils or consistently exceeding verticils. 
Verticils (inflorescence clusters) all separated 
on rachis, cymes entirely monochasial or once 
dichasial at base then monochasial or twice 
dichasial (± globose), with 2-10 flowers per 
monochasium, peduncles 0-11 mm long on

hairs 0.15-0.3 mm long; upper lip ovate or 
elliptical, 3.6-5.3 mm long, with glandular 
hairs on outer surface or with eglandular hairs 
on outer surface; lower lip purple, 47-6.6 
mm long to end of lateral lobes, 8.6-12 mm 
long overall, glabrous on platform. Longest 
stamens 10.5-12.5 mm long from base of 
corolla tube; filament hairs 1.1-1.9 mm long, 
mainly at distal end. Style 10.5-14 mm long;

calyx cylindrical, 6.2-8.6 mm long, 2.5-4.5 
mm wide at lobe apices, 1.7-27 times longer 
than wide, exterior surface with all hairs same 
size and type, hairs eglandular, 0.2-0.6 mm 
long, sessile glands 64-176 mm 2 ; lobes acute, 
1.5-2.5 mm long. Fruiting calyx fringe hairs 
longer at sinus end than at apical end, 0.2-0.4

sinus end, sinus hairs absent, inner surface of 
tube with dense ring of long hairs in medial 
section or with sparse long hairs in medial
