Descriptions
Simpson's description is: "A glabrous flaccid perennial extending long slender, fleshy branching rhizomes putting up rather remote rosettes. 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. Capsule 6 mm. long, 4 mm. diam., obconical.

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.
