Planta fruticosa; axes juvenes, folia faciesque abaxialis calycis obtecta pilis indivisis apice glandiferentibus; folia ovata vel deltata, ad 9 cm longitudine, 10 cm latitudine, petiolo ad 3.2 longitudine; inflorescentia floribus 14 ut maximum; calyx 13 mm diametro maturitate fructus; corolla brevissime, tuberosa, limbo reflexo 10.3-19.2 mm diametro, olivacea; filamenta villosa secus proximales 4/5 partes longitudinis; bacca aurantiaca, ad 9 mm diametro.

Shrub to 1.1 m high. Young axes, peduncles, pedicels, and abaxial faces of calyx villous with erect, gland-tipped finger hairs to 3 mm long. Woody stems glabrous, terete, to at least 1.5 cm diam. Leaves alternate, often geminate, the blade ovate or deltoid, to 9 X 10 cm, pubescence of gland-tipped finger hairs on both faces, the margin repand, sinuate or dentate with up to 5 pairs of braod, rounded teeth; petiole to 3.2 cm long. Inflorescence axillary or less commonly arising from a stem dichotomy, umbellate, 6- to 14-flowered. Peduncle to 15 mm long, pedicel to 20 mm long. Calyx green at anthesis, 3-4 mm from pedicel to tip of lobe, ciliate with both branchlet hairs to 0.25 mm long and gland-tipped finger hairs to 1 mm long; adaxially pubescent with finger hairs to 0.4 mm long; calyx at fruit maturity ( from Leiva 1739) stellate and 13 mm diam. Corolla short-tubular with a reflexed limb, dull orange green, the tube (obscured by pressing) 1.5-2 X 6.5-8 mm, within the tube two dark green maculae flanking the radial vein extending to the tip of each corolla lobe, narrow purple ring surrounding mouth of tube, the limb 10.3-19.2 mm diam., the 5 lobes alternating with lobules, adaxially glabrous within tube and the limb pilosulose, the hairs 0.21-0.5 mm long, abaxially with finger hairs, some gland tipped, 00.15-1.2 mm long, ciliate with finger hairs to 0.6 mm long. Stalked multicellular glands 75-90 µm long, abundant on both faces of calyx and abaxial corolla, uncommon on adaxial corolla. Stamens 7 mm long; filaments villous on proximal 4/5 of the length, the finger hairs purple, to 1.5 mm long, decreasing in length distally; anthers cream-colored, 1-2.1 mm long. Style 3.5-10 mm long; stigma capitate, dark green and exserted to 5.5 mm beyond anthers on living plants, 0.5-0.9 mm wide, the papillae 45 µm long. Nectar disk broad, girdling base of the ovary (Fig. 1H). Gynoecium glabrous. Mature berries orange (not seen, from informant at type locality), nearly spherical, 5-9 mm diam.
