Flowers pendulous (not spreading to semi-erect); corolla ±12-18 mm long, tubular, white, sometimes tinged pink, non-sticky, with short hairs only along longitudinal ridges and around base; plants sparsely branched and up to 1.5 m tall, with relatively short grey-green leaves. A few collections from the region of Shaw's Mountain (e.g. Oliver 8022) have semi-pendulous flowers with the corolla red and a yellow mouth, but sticky and strigose. These could possibly be included under this subspecies, but further investigations need to be done to assess their identity within this highly variable species. From: Oliver, EGH; Oliver, IM. 2002.
