Sprawling (erect when young), sympodial, short-lived suffrutices 0.15-0.5 m tall, resprouting. Stems permanent, woody, immaculate, at first simple becoming slightly to well-branched; branches ascending to somewhat decumbent, sprouting at nodes. Leaves 20-90 x 10-40 mm, glabrous, 2-pinnate, coriaceous; ultimate leaflet segments linear-oblong, 1-3 x < 1 mm, subterete, concolorous, bright green, margins entire, venation visible or obscure. Petioles 5-40 mm long, glabrous. Umbels with peduncle short to long, 20-100 mm long; involucral bracts 1-6, lanceolate to ovate or often foliose, coriaceous, acuminate, margins usually membranous, glabrous; rays (4)10 to 20, 15-30 mm long, scabrid; involucel bracts 2 to 6, linear to lanceolate, coriaceous, acuminate, margins often membranous, glabrous; raylets 8 to 10, 3-5 mm long, glabrous or scabrid. Flowers with petals 0.8-1.2 x 0.8-1.2 mm, deeply emarginate, papillose; ovary glabrous; styles lengthening as fruit matures, ±1.0 mm long, becoming reflexed and extending beyond base of stylopodium. Fruit 2.0-2.5 x 1.5-2.5 mm, broadly ovate in lateral view, base obtuse to very slightly cordate; mericarps homomorphic, glabrous; median and lateral ribs as well developed as marginal ribs, slightly prominent, cartilaginous, dorsal surface without fibrous ridges, glabrous; marginal ribs parallel to very slightly concave in lateral view.
