This, like its Australian congeners, is probably an extremely 
variable plant. Some of Mr. Low’s specimens are erect, others 
prostrate ; the leaves are very coriaceous, all more or less recurved 
both as to their apices and margins, glabrous or densely silky 
below, glabrous above, with often white silk along the midrib.
