Adenogramma capillaris Druce

Like A. lichtensteiniana but much more slender and less woody. Stems very thin, thread-like. Leaves in whorls of 4, linear-lanceolate, more or less involute, shortly hair-pointed. Stipules minute. Flowers in groups of 2 or 3; pedicels short at first but lengthening at the fruiting stage to at least the length of the leaves. Perianth segments obtuse with a green central part. Fruit smooth, shining, almost black, more pointed than that of A. lichtensteiniana.
