--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>cespitose to somewhat matted, green or often glaucous, with woody base. <b>Stems</b> erect to ascending, (3–)5–20(–25) cm, entirely glabrous or glabrous proximally, stipitate-glandular distally. <b>Leaves</b>: basal leaves abundant, persistent; cauline leaves in 1–3 pairs, abruptly reduced distal to lowest pair; basal blades erect, straight or often curved in one direction, filiform, (2–)4–8 cm × 0.5–1 mm, flexuous, herbaceous, apex acute or acuminate to weakly spinose, glabrous, sometimes stipitate-glandular, often glaucous. <b>Inflorescences</b> 1–12(–18)-flowered, open or rarely subcongested cymes. <b>Pedicels</b> (2–)5–20 mm, glabrous or stipitate-glandular. <b>Flowers</b>: sepals often purplish, 1–3-veined, ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 3–4.7 mm, to 5 mm in fruit, margins broad, apex broadly rounded to barely acute, glabrous or stipitate-glandular; petals white, spatulate, 6–10 mm, 1.5–2.5 times as long as sepals, apex broadly rounded; nectaries as depressed transverse cup at base of filaments opposite sepals, 0.3–0.7 × 0.1–0.3 mm. <b>Capsules</b> 5–8 mm, valves at least sparsely stipitate-glandular or glabrous. <b>Seeds</b> brown to black, ellipsoid to ovoid with hilar notch, (1.2–)1.5–2(–2.5) mm, tuberculate; tubercles rounded, elongate.</span><!--

--><p>B. Maguire (1947, 1951) and subsequent workers separated these varieties of <i>Eremogone capillaris</i> by sepal length: (3–)3.5–4.5(–4.8) mm in <i></i>var.<i> americana</i> and (3.6–)5–6(–6.6) mm in <i></i>var.<i> capillaris</i>. Material available to us did not exhibit that distinction.</p>
