Hermannia conglomerata Eckl. & Zeyh.

Suffrutex, suberect, with ascending branches, 10-60 cm tall, branchlets pubescent with long tubercle-based, few-rayed stellate hairs, with age hairs fall off and branchlets are rough with scattered tubercles. Stipules narrowly to broadly ovate-acuminate, cordate at base, about 8 mm long, with long, few-rayed stellate hairs. Leaves petiolate; blade subrotund, 1-2 cm diam., pubescent with long, few-rayed, stellate hairs, sparse and 1-to 2-rayed on upper surface, several-rayed and more copious on lower surface, margin crenate; petiole about 5 mm long. Inflorescence of sessile cymes crowded at ends of branches and branchlets, interspersed with leaves and bracts; bracts ovate-, or broadly lanceolate-acuminate, about 9 mm long and 3.5 mm broad near base; bracteoles linear-lanceolate, about 7 mm long and 1 mm broad near base. Calyx 6 mm long, 5-lobed to about midway, densely hispid, at least when young, with few-rayed, long, tubercle-based hairs. Petals about as long as calyx, strongly contorted and shortly exserted from the glabrous, more or less oblong calyx tube, obovate, rounded at apex, narrowing slightly at centre, lower half with margins narrowly inrolled and narrowing at base to a short claw. Stamens about 4 mm long; filaments hyaline, ± linear, narrowing towards base, glabrous in the specimens dissected, overlapped by anther bases; anthers shortly ciliate. Ovary about 2 mm long, 5-lobed, hirsute with long erect hairs.
