Calyx tube 8-angled, with large sessile glands around margin adaxially; anther pore 4/5 the length of theca. From: Oliver, EGH. 2000. Systematics of Ericeae (Ericaceae-Ericiodeae) species with indehiscent and partially indehiscent fruits. Contr. Bolus Herb. 19: 3-472. [All rights reserved]
This subspecies is distinguished by its 8-angled calyx tube which is hirsute over with a row of large sessile glands around the margins adaxially and by anther pores being 4/5 the length of the thecae. The stickiness produced by the sessile glands is unusual in being confined to the area of the corolla adjacent to the calyx lobes unlike the completely sticky corolla in the species belonging to the Viscid Group.
