suffruticose, erect or ascending, much branched, branches virgate, branchlets fasciculate; leaves sessile or subsessile, lanceolate or linear, obtuse, attenuated at the base, with more or less revolute margins, papulose; flowers axillary, yellow, 2–5 aggregated, pedicellate, disposed in an elongated bracteolate or leafless raceme; pedicels 2–8 lines long as well as the calyx papulose or pruinose subhirsute; lobes of calyx broad, ovate, very blunt; fruit 1 1/2 inch or larger, obovate, 4- winged, 3–4-locular; wings very large, membranaceous, papulose, alternate with four long tubercles.
