Perennis radicibus fibrosis caule ramisque basi lignosis valde ramu- 
losis. Ramuli elongati vel saepius abbreviati. Rami ramulique elongati 
fastigiati, totum foliosi. Folia in ramulis elongatis novellis quadi- 
fariam imbricata deinde remota, subconnata ovato-lanceolata obtusa vel 
subacuta internodiis quam folia parum brevioribus. Flores pentameri 
minuti subsessiles in cymis paucifloris ex axillis foliorum superiorum. 
Calyx quam corolla parum brevior. Sepala connata, tubo circ. 1/3 
longitudine loborum, lobis lanceolatis. Petala erecto-patentia sub- 
libera pallide albo-viridia ovata. Stamina quam calyx parum breviora 
filamentis albis subulatis, antheris ovatis luteis. Carpidia quam 
stamina parum breviora ovariis oblique subovatis 2-ovulatis stilis 
brevissimis subulatis. Squamae basi breviter stipitatae sursum 
dilatatae rotundatae et leviter emai'ginatae. 
The description was drawn up from a live specimen collected at 
Grahamstown, Feb. 1916. To this the following measurements also 
I’efer. I must, however, repeat the caution that the plant flowers 
often very early, long before the base of the stem has become lignified, 
and it then looks like an annual. 
Height of plant 3 — 10 cm. Branches 8 cm. long, elongated 
branchlets about 5 cm. long. Lowest leaves about 3 mm. long, upper 
very gradually smaller. Petals about 1 mm. long. Sepals very 
slightly, though distinctly shorter.
