Leaves sessile, spreading, not glaucous; lamina (main stem) 10–24 × 1–3.5 mm, linear (not ‘runcinate’as in orig. descr.), apex rounded, margin plane to subrevolute, base cuneate to rounded, with laminar glands pale, small, scattered; lamina (axillary and sterile shoots) smaller, narrower, apex rounded. Inflorescence ∞-flowered, from 10–24 nodes, very narrowly cylindric, rather dense, 190–410 mm long, with lateral cymules1–3-flowered, without flowering branches below; bracts and bracteoles narrowly triangular-ovate to triangular-lanceolate (not ‘anguste linear’), without black glands.

Sepals equal, free to 2/5 united, not imbricate, 2–3 × 1–1.5 mm, oblong to broadly elliptic, obtuse to usually rounded; veins 3; margin distally with regular sessile globose black glands; laminar glands pale, striiform to punctiform. Petals golden? yellow, not red-tinged, c. 8 × 5 mm (not ‘10–12 mm long’), obovate, unguiculate, rounded, distally with sessile black marginal glands; laminar glands pale, punctiform. Stamens c. 35–40, longest c. 6 mm; filaments yellow. Ovary c. 3 × 1.5 mm, broadly ovoid, not rostrate; styles 3 mm, equalling ovary. Capsule 7–8 × 4–6 mm, broadly ovoid-subglobose, not or scarcely rostrate; vittae narrow. Seeds reddish-brown, c. 1.7 mm long.
