Densely tufted perennial up to 10 cm, usually densely hairy throughout, rarely glabrous or sparsely hairy, hairs all eglandular except in the inflorescence. Leaf fascicles 'closed' at flowering time, the leaves pointing forwards. Inflorescence a dense cymose cluster of 4-10-flowers; pedicels 0,·5-3 mm, much shorter than the ovate-lanceolate bracts. Sepals 4-6 mm, lanceolate to linear-lanceolate, acute, prominently and ± equally 3-veined, glandular-pubescent, often purple-tinged. Petals narrowly elliptic, almost as long as sepals. Fl. 6-8. Stony places and scree, 1650-2450 m.
Endemic; a very distinctive species but probably most closely allied to M.erythrosepala.
