Description:
Description: Erect shrub to ca. 0.5(?) m tall; twigs with or without scattered gland-headed hairs, otherwise glabrous to densely pubescent, with nonchambered pith; buds to ca. 0.5 mm long, leaves revolute. Leaves coriaceous, narrowly ovate to nearly linear, 0.4-1.2 x 0.1-0.25 cm, base slightly cordate to truncate, apex minutely acuminate, margin entire (to appearing serrulate/ciliate due to presence of many gland-headed hairs), strongly revolute, adaxial surface with or without gland-headed hairs on extreme basal portion of midvein, otherwise glabrous to very sparsely pubescent on basal portion of midvein, abaxial surface with or without gland-headed hairs along midvein, otherwise glabrous to very sparsely pubescent on extreme basal portion of midvein, lacking or with few very inconspicuous glandular dots along midvein; petiole 0.5-1.5 mm long. Inflorescences axillary racemes to 1.5-3 cm long; rachis with or without scattered gland-headed hairs, otherwise densely pubescent; pedicels 3.5-11 mm long, with or without gland-headed hairs, otherwise densely pubescent; bracteoles 2, alternate to opposite, from within lower 1/4 to near middle of pedicel, narrowly triangular to ovate, to ca. 3 mm long; floral bracts to ca. 3.5 mm long. Flowers with narrowly triangular calyx lobes, with long-acuminate apices, 3-6 x 0.4-0.7 mm, abaxial surface with or without conspicuous gland-headed hairs, otherwise sparsely to densely pubescent; corolla cylindrical, pink to red, 8-9.5 x 3.5-4 mm, glabrous; filaments ca. 5.7-6 mm long; anthers ca. 1.5 mm long; ovary densely pubescent. Capsules short-ovoid, 3.5-4.5 x 4-5 mm, placentae ± central; seeds 0.7-1.2 mm long.
Distribution: Endemic to SE Brazil (Minas Gerais) and known only from the type collections.
Illustration: Judd (1995), fig. 11.
Type: Brazil. Minas Gerais: Serra dos Cristais, nr. Diamantina, 1892, Glaziou 19577 (holotype, B, destroyed; frag. of holotype, F; photos of holotype, F, GH; isotypes, BR, n.v., C, G, K, P).
