Annual herbs 12-35 cm high, branched in the upper part; stems and branches pubescent, puberulous or glabrous. Leaves 2-10 cm long, pectinately 3-9-lobed; lobes broadly linear, sub-fleshy, acute, puberulous or glabrous; sometimes some of the basal leaves simple. Racemes sub-umbellate in flower; in fruit usually dense. Sepals 2.5-3.2 mm long, 1.3-1.5 mm broad, thinly puberulous or glabrous, membranous-margined; outer 2 oblong-elliptic, cucullate; inner 2 narrowly ovate-elliptic, slightly saccate. Petals 3.5-5 mm long, 2.5-3 mm broad, obovate, rounded, cuneate. Filaments of the short stamens with very small appendages. Anthers 0.5-0.8 mm, long. Fruiting pedicels 1.2-2(-2.5) cm long, wide-spreading arcuate or reflexed. Silieulae 1.2-1.7 x 1.1-1.5 cm, subcircular or subcircular-obovate, compressed, pendulous; valves 1-nerved, later reticulately veined, at maturity the central part becomes thick and spongy and the reticulate veining becomes less obvious. Seeds 5-6 mm in diameter, circular, broadly winged with a deep narrow sinus.
