A low, prostrate shrub 5.0-0.0 cm in height, forming dense mats up to 3.0 m in diam., with a single stout erect main stem, to 0.0 cm in height, 1.0-5.0 cm in diam., from which arise stout, horizontally spreading branches. Flowering stems produced at the perimeter of the mat, trailing along the ground, usually bearing short lateral branchlets each terminating in an inflorescence; stems slender 2.0-3.0 mm in diam., puberulous. Leaves linear, occasionally slightly falcate 3.0-6.0 cm long, 2.0-5.0 mm wide, glabrous to minutely puberulous, distant, occasionally subsecund on trailing stems. Inflorescences globose, 2.5-3.0 cm in diam., usually solitary; prominently pedunculate, peduncle 2.0-4.0 cm long. Involucral receptacle very depressed-conic, almost flat, 4.0 mm high, 7.0 mm wide. Involucral bracts lanceolate acuminate, 6.0 mm long, 1.5 mm wide, cartilaginous, villous, rather loosely imbricate, the apices slightly recurved. Bracteoles oblanceolate, 7.0 mm long, 2.0 mm broad, apex mucronate, margins involute, outer surface thickly lanate. Perianth straight, cylindric in bud, pale cream to white becoming carmine with age. Perianth tube 7.0 mm long, glabrous proximally, villous distally, narrowed at base. Perianth claws equally recurved in the subterminal region, villous. Perianth limbs recurved, narrowly lanceolate acute, 2.0 mm long, hispid. Style straight 1.7-2.0 cm long, pale cream becoming carmine with age. Pollen presenter clavate cylindric, acute, 1.5 mm long, stigmatic groove terminal. Hypogynous scales linear, 1.0 mm long, hyaline. Between August and January, the very sweetly scented inflorescences are produced, the peak of the flowering season being in September.
