Leaves thick and leathery smooth yellow in colour with a prominent midrib, alternate, with short petioles. Flowers bluish in terminal clusters of 6-10 in one-sided raceme, corolla funnel-like calyx sparsely hirsute. It contains volatile oils, flavonoids like eriodictyol and resin.

Bronchial secretion is usually a profuse, easily raised mucous that brings relief. Bronchial phthisis, with night-sweats and emaciation are also covered. Asthma relieved by expectoration. Clinical reports confirm that it has relieved the cough that remained as a sequela of influenza. There is usually a thickening of the bronchial mucous membrane.
