Revision as of 20:30, 24 September 2019
Stems spreading or ascending to erect, forming dense mats, puberulent, glandular-hairy, or glabrous. Leaves imbricate, somewhat appressed to leaf above, usually 4-ranked; blade ovate-lanceolate, abaxial groove absent, 3–4.5 × 1–1.5 mm, margins thin but not scarious, without curled hairs at leaf tips, surfaces glabrous to glandular-hairy or sparsely hairy. Flowers: sepals 2–3 mm, margins entire or erose; petals connate to 1/3 their lengths, tips recurved, corolla white, campanulate, 5–8 mm; stamens to 3 mm. Capsules 1.5–4 mm.
Distribution
w North America.
Discussion
Subspecies 4 (4 in the flora).
Four subspecies were recognized by Piper, based on differences in pubescence of the stems and leaf margins.
Selected References
None.
