twigs downy; leaves spreading, linear, acute, flat, hairy on both sides, with revolute margins, the midrib prominent beneath; flowers umbellate; peduncles twice as long as the calyx, glabrous; calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, sub-obtuse, ciliate, petals twice as long as the calyx, their claws equalling the calyx, glabrous, limb oblong, obtuse; sterile filaments equalling the calyx, linear, broader at base, ciliate, glabrous above; ovary and style glabrous. 8–12 inches high, with greyish, sub-erect branches and scattered or whorled slender twigs, with patent pubescence. Leaves sub-horizontal but closely set, 4–5 lines long, nearly 1/2 line wide, with strongly revolute, thickened and ciliate margins. Pedicels 10–16, slender, 2 lines long. Calyx 1 line long. Petals white, the capillary claw equalling the limb, which has a gland below the apex. Ovaries 3, few-haired at top.
