Herbs, perennial. Stems: basal produced; flowering erect or procumbent to ascending, 15–35 cm, densely sericeous. Leaves of flowering stems whorled; blade narrowly elliptic to oblanceolate, 7–25 × 1.2–4 mm, apex acute, abaxial surface pilose, adaxial glabrous or sparsely pilose. Pedicels 1 per axil, 1–1.5 mm. Flowers: calyx 1.6–2.1 mm, outer sepals shorter than to ± equaling inner. Capsules subglobose to broadly ovoid, 1.3–2.1 × 1.5–1.9 mm, shorter than calyx. Seeds 2–5(–6).

Discussion

Varieties 3 (3 in the flora).
