Lvs in fascicles of 3-5 or solitary, ± 4-12 × 1-2 mm., linear to narrow-lanceolate, acute, not pungent, glab. or sparsely silky-hairy when young; margins sts ciliolate. Fls 3-5-(7) mm. diam., axillary, on slender pedicels up to c. 5 mm. long, in 2-5-fld cymes to solitary.

Richard's description is: " glabris; foliis linearibus acutis, subciliatis, subtus 1-nerviis, punctatis; floribus albis axillaribus, solitariis aut terminalibus, sertulatis; calycis glabris, limbo 5-dentato persistente. Nob. Crescit in locis aridis elevatisque Novae-Zeelandiae (hâvre de l' Astrolabe). Capsula minima turbinata, glabra, limbo calycino 5-dentato coronata, 5-locularis, apice 5-valvis; seminibus pluribus minimis subulatis."
A depressed or straggling shrub up to c. 1 m. tall; branchlets pubescent when young. Lvs solitary or in fascicles of 2-5, narrowly oblanceolate, apiculate, glab., ± 5 × 1·5 mm., on minute petioles. Fls ± 4 mm. diam. on pedicels ± 2 mm. long, solitary or in 2-5-fld cymes. Receptacles c. 2 × 2 mm., pubescent; sepals triangular, somewhat persistent; petals ± 2 mm. diam., suborbicular. Capsule exceeded by receptacle-rim.
Prostrate or straggling shrub up to 1 m. or more diam., or tall; branchlets, lvs, pedicels, receptacles ± white by investiture of sub-appressed to spreading silky hairs. Lvs ± 6-12 × 1·5-2 mm., linear-to oblong-lanceolate to oblanceolate (on same plant), acute. Fls c. 5-7 mm. diam., solitary or in few-fld cymes; pedicels ± 4-5 mm. long.
