Rosette-lvs 1-3 cm. long (sts more), lamina obovate to spathulate, obtuse, petiole broad; upper surface hairy except towards base, undersurface almost or quite glab. Lateral branches few to many, decumbent, up to 9 cm. long, occ. branched, internodes us. < lvs. Stem-lvs similar to rosette-lvs near base, becoming sessile above, bracts diminishing in size, the lowest up to 10 × 5 mm. Cymes us. simple, few- to many-fld, bracteate throughout; internodes us. < bracts, sts very short; pedicels much < calyx, very hairy. Calyx us. lobed < halfway, lobes subacute; hairs us. long and short, ± stiff, none hooked but often some shortest retrorse. Corolla 0·5-3 mm. diam., tube cylindric, lobes narrow with obtuse tip; filaments very short, anthers < 1 mm. long, wholly included, tips occ. reaching level of scales; style < calyx, stigma capitate.

Hairs rather stiff, spreading. Calyx with long hairs rather stiff, not appressed. short hairs retrorse towards base. Corolla us. white, 1·5-3 mm. diam., tube c. 2 mm. long. Nutlets c. 1·2 × 1 mm., tips often visible between calyx-lobes.

Rosettes 1-several cm diam., ground-hugging; lvs obovate to spathulate; upper surface hairy; undersurface almost or quite glabrous. Lateral branches few to many, decumbent; internodes usually < lvs. Cymes usually simple, few- to many-flowered, bracteate throughout; bracts usually > internodes; pedicel < calyx. Corolla white to cream, 0.5-3 mm diam.; tube cylindric; filaments very short; anthers wholly included.
