Leaves of rosettes 2-4 cm. long, 4-5 mm. broad, linear-spathulate, obtuse, the upper portion of the blade irregularly crenate or dentate, the lower portion entire and gradually narrowed to a flattened, sparingly ciliate petiole equalling the blade. Margins frequently waved or recurved. Stem leaves few, linear or linear-lanceolate, 1·5-3 cm. long, [?] slender, sparingly branched; pedicels 4-15 cm. long, naked. Flowers solitary, terminating the branches, 1·5 cm. diam., white. Calyx obconic, 8 mm. long, deeply 5 partite, glabrous; teeth subulate. Corolla lobes obovate, acute.

Wahlenbergia albomarginata subsp. laxa (G.Simpson) J.A.Petterson

Similar in flowers to W. albomarginata, but with leaf laminas obovate to oblanceolate, dentate to serrate, with rather conspicuous marginal teeth; not glaucous, not margined, not entire. Flowers long-tubed, often much larger than in subsp. albomarginata, and calyx lobes longer. The measurements for subsp. laxa in Table 9 were recorded from living flowers cultivated from Temple Track and Caseys Pass, in Arthur's Pass National Park.
