Stems reddish-brown, incompletely 4-lined, ancipitous when young, eventually terete, cortex exfoliating in strips; internodes 5-7.5 mm long, shorter than to exceeding leaves. Leaves sessile, spreading; lamina 7-20 x 1-3 mm, narrowly elliptic to oblong-linear or oblanceolate, plane to recurved, paler beneath, not glaucous, chartaceous; apex obtuse to rounded, base cuneate to parallel-sided, not decurrent, free; basal veins 1-3, midrib with 1-4 main pairs of branches, tertiary reticulum obscure or absent (?) laminar, glands dense, not prominent. Inflorescence c. 7-c. 80-flowered, dichasial/monochasial without accessory branches, with lateral branches from up to 7 nodes below, the whole obovoid to corymbiform, partial inflorescences densely subcorymbiform to corymbiform (i.e. flat-topped); primary pedicels 1.5-2.5 mm long; bracts and bracteoles oblong-linear to linear. Flowers 7-10 mm in diam., stellate; buds ovoid-ellipsoid, obtuse. Sepals 2.5-4 x 0.5-1.1 mm, subequal, imbricate, lanceolate or narrowly oblong to narrowly elliptic, acute; veins 5, inner 3 becoming prominent; glands all linear or sometimes distally punctiform. Petals yellow, 4-5 x 2-3 mm, c. 1.6-2 x sepals, oblong-elliptic, apiculus very short or obsolete; glands interrupted-linear to punctiform. Stamens 40-50, obscurely 5-fascicled or irregular, longest 2-3 mm long, c. 0.5-0.6 x petals. Ovary 1-1.5 x 0.8-1 mm, broadly ovoid to subglobose; styles (5)4(3), 1.6-2 mm long, 1.3-2 x ovary, spreading; stigmas narrowly capitate to scarcely enlarged. Capsule 2.5-4 x 2-3 mm, broadly ovoid to globose, shorter than or equalling sepals. Seeds c. 0.5 mm long; testa ribbed-scalariform.
