Description
Nama lobbii is a rhizomatous perennial herb forming dense mats of glandular hairy to woolly herbage usually spreading more than a metre wide. The sticky, hairy oval leaves are up to six centimetres (2.4 in) long, occurring alternately along the branching stems and in clusters at stem forks. The funnel-shaped flowers are just under a centimetre wide with five rounded lobes. They are deep pink to purple in color. The plant sends out wide root networks which can grow up to five metres (16 ft) in length per year and sprout new plants.
