Perennial herb, with flowering branches spreading from a woody base. Old leaf bases glabrous, persistent on woody stems, resulting in a scaly appearance.

Inflorescence with 1-5 umbellules borne on leafy long shoots; rays ±8 mm long; peduncle leaf-opposed, ±15 mm long; involucral bracts paired, lanceolate, 2.5-4.0 mm long, 1.0-1.5 mm wide, as long or longer than the fruit, glabrous; flowers all bisexual, three per umbellule, the lateral ones often abortive; petals glabrous (?). Fruit orbicular, flattened, ±2 mm long, ±1.5 mm wide, smooth, glabrous.
