Rosettes single or multiple, lvs broadly obovate-spathulate, 2-4 × 0.7-1·5 cm., tip rounded and mucronate, petiole shorter than lamina, ill-defined; hairs ∞, long, tapering, ± appressed, on undersurface shorter, sparser and retrorse except near If-tip. Lateral branches few, ascending, up to c. 10 cm. long, internodes < lvs. Upper stem-lvs narrow-elliptic and sessile, 1-2 × 0·3-1 cm., tip broadly acuminate; hairs long, silky, ∞, ± appressed, fewer and more slender on undersurface. Cymes ebracteate, to 2 cm. long, simple or once branched, terminal on primary laterals; internodes and pedicels short. Calyx 5-7-(8) mm. long, lobes us. > 1/2 length, obtuse, medium width; hairs of several lengths, rather crowded, appressed and fringing above, shorter, spreading and ± retrorse below, occ. weakly hooked. Corolla white, 5-7 mm. diam., tube 4-6 mm. long, slightly flaring above, lobes flat, rounded, c. 1·5-2.5 × 1·5-2.5 mm.; filaments very short, fixed immediately below scales, anthers c. 1·5 mm. long, tips projecting above rather large scales; style > calyx, stigma capitate. Nutlets not seen.

Plants compact. Rosette lvs broadly obovate-spathulate; hairs long, ± appressed, abaxially fewer, retrorse. Lateral branches few, ascending. Stem lvs > internodes. Cymes ebracteate, mostly simple; internodes short. Calyx hairs of several lengths, occasionally hooked. Fls scented. Corolla white to cream, 5-7 mm diam.; tube slightly flared; anther tips protruding above scales.
