Plants 4–10 dm, forming small colonies (by rhizomes); branches ascending; twigs of current season grayish brown, puberulent and sparsely stipitate-glandular, becoming glabrate. Leaves: petiole 0.5–1.5 mm; blade light green abaxially, dark green adaxially, oblanceolate to obovate, 1.9–2.9 × 0.9–1.2 cm, subcoriaceous, base cuneate, margins entire, (scattered stipitate-glandular-hairy and ciliate, 6–8 cilia per mm), apex subacute, mucronate, surfaces persistently stipitate-glandular-hairy and sessile-glandular (often sparsely stellate-eglandular-hairy abaxially). Inflorescences erect or arching, 4–8-flowered, bracteate, 2–5 cm, hairy and stipitate-glandular; bracts persistent, leaflike, 2–5 mm, expanding to 5–10 mm, longer than pedicels, densely stipitate-glandular-hairy (hairs 0.3–0.5 mm). Pedicels 2–3 mm, stipitate-glandular-hairy; bracteoles 1–2, 2–5 mm. Flowers: sepals 5, 2 mm, densely stipitate-glandular-hairy (hairs 0.3–0.5 mm); petals 5, corolla white, campanulate, 5.5–6.5 mm (averaging 6 mm), lobes triangular, 1–1.5 mm; filaments 0.3–0.5 mm, sparsely hairy; anthers included, 2.5–3.2 mm (averaging 2.8 mm), thecae divergent distally; ovary glandular-hairy (hairs 0.3–0.5 mm). Drupes juicy, insipid, black, 6–8 mm diam., sparsely glandular-hairy. Seeds 1.5–1.8 mm.
Phenology: Flowering late spring–early summer.
Habitat: Peaty montane seepage bogs
Elevation: 500-1800 m
