Leaves linear to linear-oblanceolate, mostly 1–4.5 cm long, 0.5–3 mm wide, apex acute to obtuse, base cuneate, margins flat, both surfaces sparsely to densely appressed-hairy. Bracts longer than sepals at anthesis. Flowers on pedicels to c. 2 mm long; sepals 5–8, linear, initially c. 2 mm long, acute, woolly, scarcely connate at base, elongating unequally to c. 9 mm, becoming hard, twisted and clasping the ripening mericarps; corolla 2–2.5 mm long, glabrous, white, tube much longer than lobes; anthers narrow-ovoid, c. 0.4 mm long; ovary 2–4-lobed, style c. 0.5 mm long. Mericarps usually 2, 1–2 mm long, incompletely splitting from central axis, rugose to wrinkled with an irregular reticulum, white to brownish. Flowers Aug.–Nov.
