Shrub 0.2–0.3 m tall, with a single main stem producing several branches, 3–6 mm diameter at ground level, stellate-hairy, soon glabrous, glaucous, underground rootstock not recorded. Leaf-blade lanceolate or lanceolate-rhombic, less usually elliptic, 1.7–4(–7)≈0.8–1.3(–4) cm, apex rounded, base cuneate or rounded, margin serrate, each side with 12–17 teeth, 0.5–1≈1.5–5 mm, nerves 4–5(–6) on each side of the midrib, grey velvety hairy on both surfaces, very densely so below, with dense stellate hairs; petiole 6–14(–40) mm long; stipules subulate, 2–4 mm long. Inflorescence racemose, (4.5–)6–9.5 cm long, yellow, white-hairy with stellate hairs, basal internodes elongated, ± 2 cm, partial-inflorescences ascending, 4–7, 2–3 cm long at base, each bearing 1 flower, lowest partial peduncle 20–30 mm long; lower peduncular bracts trifid, 3.5–8 mm long; partial rhachis bracts and pedicellar bracts absent; pedicel u-shaped, (2–)3–4 mm long. Flowers apparently nodding, pale yellow or white, width unknown. Calyx base campanulate, 2–3≈3–6 mm, lobes narrowly triangular, 6≈1.5–2 mm, fairly densely white stellate-hairy. Petals weakly clawed, 11–12 mm long, blade widely elliptic, ± 7–8≈5 mm, claw suboblong, ± 3≈2 mm, margins not involute, glabrous. Stamen filaments suboblong, ± 1.5≈0.7 mm, lacking appendages, glabrous, anther ± 5≈1 mm. Ovary subcylindrical to narrowly ellipsoid, 3.5≈2.5 mm, ovules 10–15 per locule, style 4.5 mm long. Fruit capsule not seen, immature fruits 3-seeded. Fig. 19, p. 116.
