suffruticose, decumbent, much branched, rough from large papulæ; primary branches elongate, thick, flexuose, secondary numerous, approximate, leafy, often fasciculate-branched; leaves oblong or lanceolate, obtuse, attenuated at the base, sessile, with revolute or reflexed margins, when young linear; flowers axillary, 1–3 aggregate, disposed in a mostly leafy raceme, interrupted below, but dense above; leafy bracts sublinear, generally as long as the flowers; fruit 6–9 lines long, suborbicular, papulose-leprose, 4–5-winged, wings coriaceous-woody, often alternate with small or obsolete tubercles. Nearly allied to T. decumbens, and only distinguished by a higher, more woody stem, with numerous, very leafy branches, oblong, cuneate leaves, with revolute margins. Primary branches thicker than a goose's quill, angulate. Larger leaves 12–15 lines long, 5–7 lines wide, upper ones 2–3 times smaller. Pedicels 6 lines, upper ones 3-1 line long. (In herb. Thunb. is only a single branch, but it agrees pretty well with the specimens collected by Zeyher. Sond.)
