Botanic information
Leaf: The leaves vary from linear to narrow-lanceolate with an acuminate apex and a very short petiole. The upper surface is glabrous and the underside is covered in pale-coloured tomentose.

Flower: The cyathiform flowers have 5 petal-like calyx lobes that are up to 8mm (?in) longand are brownish tomentose on the outside but glabrous on the inside. They are accompanied with 5-stamens and the flowers are arranged in pendant spreading cyme that appears during spring.

Fruit: The capsule contains 3 to 4-seeds. The small seeds are viable but may be difficult to germinate so the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively.
