Small, densely branched shrubs, probably less than 0.5 mm high, glabrous except for the puberulent young stems. Internodes mostly short, but also variable (3-12 mm long). Leaves irregularly alternate, sometimes in small fascicles, oblong-oblanceolate, 10-15 x 5-10 mm; petioles 2 mm long. Flowers yellow-green basally, pinkish red above, 35-40 x 1-2 mm; lobes variously reflexing at anthesis. Calyx tubular, 2-3 times longer than ovary. Berries unknown. Flowering February and March (and probably also earlier in the season).
