Few-branched, usually erect annuals, branches up to 16 cm long, often wiry-woody. Leaves linear-lanceolate, 2–3.5(–5.3) mm long, 0.4–0.9(–1.3) mm wide, acute with a deciduous hyaline point, obtuse with age, more or less flat above and convex below. Inflorescence 1-several spike-like thyrses with sessile cymules in axils of leaf-like bracts, often becoming pedicellate when fruiting. Flowers 4-merious; calyx lobes triangular or linear-lanceolate, 1.2–2.2 mm long, becoming longer in fruit, acute to pointed, erect to inclined, somewhat pyramidal, the tips often touching one another; corolla cream tinged red, lobes lanceolate, 0.6–0.8 mm long, acuminate and 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 rarely detaching basally from receptacle; seeds 0.3–0.5 mm long, smooth or with tubercles along longitudinal ridges.
