Perennial. Stem numerous, 11 - 17 cm, erect to ascending yellowish-green with long patent stellate tubercles and whitish setose hairs. Basal leaves crowded in to an irregular tuft or rosette, shorter than cauline leaves spathulate, margins strongly revolute, shorter than cauline leaves, 6 - 12 × 0.6 - 1.2 mm wide, upper surface dull greyish-green, densely long patent stellate tubercles robust setae, 1.5 - 2 mm long, lower surface with adpressed short setae, 2 - 3.5 mm long, indumentum ± uniform on both surface. Cauline leaves linear to narrowly oblanceolate, 12 - 16 × 1 - 2 mm, margins strongly revolute, densely clothed with yellowish-green long patent stellate tubercles, robust setae on the upper surface, 2-3.5 mm long; lower surface with adpressed short setae, 1.5 - 3 mm long. Inflorescence cyme, short subcapitate. Bracts 6 - 9 × 1- 2 mm, foliaceous, linear-lanceolate, revolute, acute, setose with similar indumentum as the stem and leaves. Pedicels 1 - 1.5 mm long, setose. Calyx divided almost to base lobes, lobes narrowly linear, 7 - 9 mm long, densely covered with long adpressed setae, a few long patent setae and short thin hairs on the upper surface. Corolla 12 - 14 mm long, clavate-campanulate, lobes short acute, glabrous, cream-coloured, pale yellow when dry. Anthers included, linear, 5 - 5.5 × 1 mm wide; apex acuminate membranous, base sagittate; free part of filament 5 - 5.5 mm long, coherent only near apex, flattened, glabrous. Ovary glabrous, approximately 1 mm diam. Style filiform, exserted, approximately 16 mm, longer than corolla. Stigma distinctly 2-lobed. Nutlets unknown.
