Leaves simple or very occasionally with two small lobes at the base, highly variable in size along a single stem, 3–11(-14) cm long, 1.6–5.5(-9) cm wide, elliptic to obovate, both surfaces densely and evenly pubescent with long simple uniseriate trichomes to 3 mm long, these usually glandular with single-celled glands on tips, the pubescence slightly denser along the veins; primary veins 7–9 pairs, drying paler than the lamina; base truncate or acute (seemingly depending on age of leaf); margins entire or slightly undulate, occasionally lobed with 1 or 2 small lobes near the base, the lobes very small; apex acute; petioles 1–2.5(-4) cm long, pubescent wi
