twigs scarcely downy; leaves spreading, oblong, obtuse, flat above, keeled beneath, thickish, gibbous-pointed, glabrous, lower often longer; flowers umbellate; peduncles glabrous; calyx lobes oblong, obtuse; petals twice as long as the calyx, glabrous; claw as long or longer than the calyx limb obovate-oblong; sterile filaments twice as long as the calyx, linear-lanceolate, pubescent-ciliate; ovary and style glabrous. 2 feet high or more, quite glabrous, erect, much branched, the branches and twigs filiform, crowded, reddish-yellow. Lower leaves sub-remote, upper close, shining above, pale beneath, keeled with a thick nerve, the margin flat, with pellucid glands; lower 1 1/2 line, upper 1–1 1/2 line long, 1/2 line wide. Flowers 6–15, pedunc. 2–3 lines long, ebracteate, the younger nodding. Calyx glabrous, gland-dotted, scarcely more than 1/2 line long. Petals 2 lines long, punctate towards the apex. Fert. filaments glabrous; sterile 1 line long, attenuate to a glabrous point.—Allied to A. glabrata, but differs in the smaller, spreading leaves, and in the sterile filaments.
