Muraltia flanaganii Bolus

A branched shrub, from 20 cm to 1 m high. Branches somewhat angled, minutely scabrous. Leaves 3.0-6.0 mm long, very shortly petiolate, acicular or linear, obtuse or apiculate, usually somewhat revolute, rarely quite flat, glabrous, the midrib evident on drying in the broader leaves. Flowers pink, 4.0-5.-0 mm long, usually solitary, the pedicels shorter than the flowers. Bracts 0-5 mm long, 0-8 mm wide, very obtuse. Sepals oblong, obtuse, usually minutely apiculate, glabrous, ciliate or non-ciliate; the outer somewhat hooded at the apex; the inner flat, about half as long as the side petals. Side petals oblong, obtuse, about as long as the carina. The claw of the carina usually slightly longer than the limb; the crest rather small, the width less than the length of the carina, the lower lobes somewhat smaller than the upper and projecting forward. Ovary glabrous, shortly bilobed at the apex; both style branches apparently fertile, the anterior smaller. Capsule glabrous, oblong, the margin somewhat serrate, the apical projections short or very short. Seed oblong, sparsely pubescent, the caruncle with two narrow membranous flaps extending from 1/3 to 2/3 of the way down the seed.
