About 1 m high, with pilose branchlets. Leaves mostly 6-7 mm long, very closely set, imbricate, linear-lanceolate, obtuse, keeled on the dorsal surface, slightly convex on the ventral surface, sparsely pilose on the margins and keel, becoming glabrous, erect-spreading or spreading, incurved from the middle. Flowering-heads mostly 6-7 mm wide, globose, terminating short leafy branchlets. Bract and bracteoles oblanceolate-spathulate, with caducous hairs on the dorsal surface, reaching to shortly above the middle of the petals. Calyx-tube obconic, clothed with caducous hairs: calyx-lobes narrowly linear, acute, clothed with caducous hairs on the dorsal surface, extending shortly beyond the middle of the petals. Petals 2 mm long, oblong, occasionally widest below the middle, obtuse, glabrous, with 2 keels converging from the middle downwards. Stamens twice as long as the petals: anthers about 0.75 mm long, oblong: thecae free 2/3 of their length. Ovary 1/2 inferior, with caducous hairs on the upper part. Fruit unknown.
