Leaves subsessile; blade broadly elliptic to ovate, 0.4–2.6 cm × 2–15 mm, base round to cuneate, margins entire, apex acuminate, glabrous or with a few scattered cilia. Inflorescences with flowers solitary in leaf axils; bracts absent. Pedicels ascending, straight, mostly 5–30 mm, glabrous. Flowers 4–5 mm; sepals 5, prominently 3-veined, lanceolate, 2–4 mm, margins broadly scarious, apex acute to acuminate, glabrous; petals usually absent, rarely 1–5 and much shorter than sepals; stamens 10 or fewer; styles 3, spreading to ascending, curved but not curled, ca. 1 mm. Capsules straw colored or brownish, ovoid to ovoid-ellipsoid, 3.5–6 mm, equaling or slightly exceeding sepals, apex broadly acute, opening by 6 valves; carpophore absent.
