Plants perennial; taproot slender; rootstock much-branched. Stems several–many, decumbent to erect, much-branched and sometimes matted, leafy, 5–30 cm, pubescent and glandular, at least distally. Leaves 2 per node, leafy above, sessile; blade narrowly lanceolate to elliptic-lanceolate, broadest proximally, narrowed to base, 1–5 cm × 3–8 mm, apex acute, short-pubescent and ± glandular on both surfaces. Inflorescences cymose, loose, leafy, compound, or flowers terminal, axillary in distal nodes. Pedicels 0.5–1(–3) cm, glandular-pubescent. Flowers unisexual, all plants having both staminate and pistillate flowers; calyx obscurely 10-veined, ovate-campanulate, 9–11 × 4–6 mm, herbaceous, papery, pubescence rather dense, glandular, ± obscuring veins, veins slender, without conspicuous pale commissures, lobes lanceolate, ca. 2 mm, apex acute to acuminate; corolla white, clawed, claw shorter than calyx, limb oblong, 2-lobed, 1.5–3 mm, lobes lanceolate, apex acute, appendages linear, 0.3–0.5 mm; stamens equaling corolla; stigmas 3, slender, equaling corolla, papillate only at tip. Capsules straw colored, ovoid-ellipsoid, slightly longer than calyx, opening by 6 teeth; carpophore ca. 1 mm. Seeds dull brown, not winged, angular-reniform, ca. 1 mm, tuberculate. 2n = 24.


Phenology: Flowering summer.
