--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Herbs </b>glabrous or sparsely and minutely glandular distally. <b>Stems</b> erect, unbranched or spreading and branched near base, secondary branches few or none, branching not dichotomous, 5–20(–30) cm. <b>Leaves</b> little reduced distally, crowded and often exceeding subtending internode, 10–25 × 1–3 mm; petiole 0–10 mm; blade very narrowly elliptic or lanceolate to sublinear. <b>Inflorescences</b> with flowers arising as proximally as first 1–3 nodes from base. <b>Flowers</b>: sepals 0.6–1.3 mm, reflexed singly; petals 0.8–1.5mm; pollen 90–100% fertile; stigma subglobose, surrounded by anthers at anthesis. <b>Capsules</b> ascending, flattened, 8–17 × 1–2 mm, not constricted between seeds, valve margins entire or minutely undulate, 2 valves remaining attached to septum after dehiscence, septum straight; pedicel 0–0.5 mm. <b>Seeds</b> 24–50, all developing, arranged obliquely to septum and subopposite seeds in adjacent locule, forming 2 even rows in capsule, light brown, 0.7–1.1 × 0.3–0.4 mm, glabrous. <b>2n</b> = 14.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Gayophytum humile is most similar to the allotetraploid G. racemosum and, on the basis of morphology, may be one of its parents. The two species are most distinct in their mature capsules; in G. humile the two lateral valves remain attached to the septum at dehiscence, whereas in G. racemosum all four valves separate from the septum at dehiscence.</p>
