twigs minutely pubescent; leaves reflexed, ovate-oblong or oblong, obtuse, flat above, prominently nerved beneath, gland-dotted and remotely ciliate at margin, thickish, glabrous on both sides; flowers umbellate, the peduncles minutely pubescent; calyx glabrous, its lobes keeled, sub-acute; petals twice as long as the calyx, glabrous, with sub-filiform claws shorter than the calyx, limb elliptical, obtuse or sub-cordate at base; sterile filaments longer than the calyx, downy at base, glabrous at the apex; ovary and style glabrous. A small shrub with alternate, greyish white branches, and short crowded ramuli. Leaves close, 1 line long, 1/2– 3/4 line wide, with about 6 marginal glands and longish cilia, in β. often wanting. Peduncles 6–8, about 2–2 1/2 lines long. Calyx partite, the segments 1 line long, ovate, with membranous ciliolate edges. Petals with a limb 1 1/2 line long, 1 line wide, broad at base, and a very narrow claw, 1/2 line long. Fert. filaments as long as the petals, glabrous; sterile lanceolate at base, filiform at the apex. Style equal to the petals.—Near the preceding but differs in the mostly shorter, glabrous leaves, margined with pellucid glands and ciliate, and the broad-based petals.
