F. v. M., „Iconogr. of Austral. Salsolac. Plants," t. VI. 



Prostrate, grey from a very short somewhat lepidote and papillular 

 vestiture ; leaves sniall, mostly somewhat rhomboid in outline, cuneated 

 into the short petiole, ofteu upwards bluntly short-lobed ; Clusters of 

 8taminate flowers at and towards the summit of the branches, hardly 

 exceeding the leaves or shorter; pistillate flowers in lower positions, 

 sessile, only few together in each axil, their two segments divergently 

 and deeply cleft into five lobes but devoid of appendages, the two lower 

 lobes almost deltoid, the three other lobes uearly semilanceolar ; radicle 

 ascending.
