Euchaetis glomerata Bartl. & H.L.Wendl.

Shrubs 0.2-0.4 m tall, lax, diffuse, growing amongst Restionaceae, often branching from near the base. Branches slender, lax, seldom numerous, soon leafless, smooth, greyish to reddish-brown. Branchlets erect, very slender, rod-like, glabrous, mostly hidden beneath the leaves, reddish where exposed. Leaves 4.3-8.5 mm long, 1.3-1.7 mm broad, lanceolate, acute, somewhat incurved mucronate, glabrous, sessile, alternate, adpressed, sub-imbricate, more crowded beneath the head; adaxially concave; abaxially round-keeled with gland dots to either side of the midrib; margins narrowly translucent, ciliate or ciliolate-serrulate with occasionally one or two gland dots. Inflorescence terminal, about 8 mm diam., glomerate consisting of up to ± 15 florets, those at the apex opening latest, those at the base aborting and falling away. Bract 1.9-2.5 mm long, 1.1 mm broad, oblanceolate, acute, mucronate, glabrous, gland-dotted; margins narrowly translucent, ciliate. Bracteoles two, 1.5-1.9 mm long, 0.7 mm broad, asymmetrical, acute or sub-obtuse, apex minutely callused, glabrous, gland-dotted; margins broadly translucent, ciliolate. Calyx lobes five, 2-2.5 mm long, 1.1-1.3 mm broad, oblong-lanceolate, apex acute deflected, minutely rough-callused; midrib minutely gland-dotted in two rows; margins ciliolate, translucent. Petals 2.7-2.8 mm long overall, white; limb 1.1-1.2 mm long, 0.6-1.0 mm broad, glabrous, oblong; claw 1.5-1.7 mm long, 0.9-1.2 mm broad, transversely-bearded above, margins ciliate. Staminodes not visible. Filaments five, becoming 1-1.2 mm long, glabrous, acicular. Anthers five, 0.7-0.9 mm long, 0.6-0.7 mm broad, wine-coloured; apical gland minute, white, globose. Pollen 45 µ long, 18 µ broad, oblong, slightly waisted. Disc sinuate, level on top, closely surrounds the ovary and exceeds it; purplish, exudes nectar. Stigma 0.2-0.3 mm diam., capitellate. Style becoming 1 mm long, deflexed at first, glabrous. Ovary 5-carpellate, 1.1 mm long, 0.8 mm diam., glabrous, apices globose. Fruit 5-carpellate, 8-12 mm long overall, 7 mm diam., glabrous, reddened; horns 2-4.5 mm long, spreading slightly. Seed 6 mm long, including the black-streaked aril, 2.1-2.7 mm broad, black, matt.
