Annuals or perennials with erect to decumbent branches to 20 cm long, more or less branched but mainly from the basal nodes. Leaves linear-lanceolate, 2.2–11 mm long, 0.8–3.6 mm wide, acute to obtuse, more or less flat above, often strongly convex below. Inflorescence 1–several spike-like thyrses with sessile cymules in axils of leaf-like bracts, often becoming pedicellate when fruiting. Flowers 4- or 5-merous; calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, 1.5–3.3 mm long, acute and often pointed, usually erect in fruit; corolla cream tinged red, lobes lanceolate, 1–2 mm long, acuminate and often folded lengthwise; nectary scales linear-cuneate to almost T-shaped, 0.4–0.6 mm long, 0.1–0.3 mm wide, usually truncate; carpels conical, with 2 ovules. Follicles smooth to finely papillose, releasing seeds through apical pore or detaching basally from receptacle; seeds 0.4–0.6 mm long, almost smooth or with tubercles along longitudinal ridges. Flowers Sep.–Jun., depending on the rainy season.
