Botanic information
Leaf: The mid green leaves are ovate-obovate to elliptical with a coarsely serrated margin and up to 25mm (1in) wide. The lower leaves tend to be larger and the peduncle is short.

Flower: The tubulate flowers have 5-sepals and a split tubular shape corolla consisting of 5-petals that are spread out like a fan and yellow at the base. They profusely appear solitary in the leaf axils on the upper part of the stem from spring to summer and vary in size.
