Wahlenbergia neorigida Lammers

A rather stout erect rigid branching shrublet, up to 60 cm high, the branches ascending. Stems gray-brown, shortly pubescent. Leaves alternate, mostly not fasciculate, rigid, squarrose-recurved, 1.5-3 mm long, 1-2 mm wide, rather thick, acute or shortly mucronate at the tip, the edges thickened, entire. Leaves crowded on the lower parts and lateral branches but distant on the flowering branches. Flowers terminal, occasionally solitary, more often in umbel-like groups with rigid finally spinous branches 0.5-2 cm long: pedicels 0.2-0.4 cm long. Calyx lobes acute, 2-2.5 mm long, usually revolute at the edges. Corolla white, blue or purple outside, 5-7 mm long: tube very short: lobes hairy at the tips and on the middle fine. Bases of the filaments elliptic-rhombic, acute, densely ciliate on the lateral bulges. Style blue, thickened at the top. Ovary half-inferior, usually hairy. Valves in fruit 2 mm long, shorter than the calyx lobes, as long as or longer than the lower part.
