Margins crenate to shallowly crenate. Petioles 2.5–7 cm long, moderately to densely antrorsely strigose. Stipules absent.

Flowers: Flowers (8–)10–14 per verticillaster, in usually compound, racemose inflorescences, consisting of the principal stem and usually 2 lateral branches immediately below, pedicels 2–7 mm long, antrorsely strigose to antrorsely spreading hispidulous or on Hawai'i villous, bracts lanceolate, 7–17 mm long, lowermost pair larger, 25–40 mm long.
