Description
Subspecies Description - Differs from subsp. linearis primarily by the longer more falcate-arcuate, drooping leaves. Mature leaves tend to be thinner than in subsp. linearis, the inflorescences tend to have shorter peduncles and pedicels, and the somewhat paler corollas are generally smaller as are other flower parts.
