Stems 12-80 cm, erect or rarely decumbent but not rooting, whitish-crisped-pubescent to puberulous or rarely glabrous. Leaves 15-50 mm, ovate to lanceolate or oblong, densely whitish-pubescent to scabrellous. Inflorescence pyramidal or subcylindric, many-flowered. Bracts not auriculate. Sepals broadly ovate to oblong or rarely lanceolate, usually obtuse to rounded, glandular-denticulate to -ciliate or with sessile glands or very rarely eglandular, without superficial black glands. Petals 7-12 mm, with or without few marginal black glands. Capsule 4-6 mm, broadly ovoid.
H. lanuginosum is most variable in the western part of its range, possibly partly as a result of introgression with H. atomarium. There are two rather indefinite varieties which may be distinguished from the typical one.
1. Stem and leaves pubescent or puberulous; sepal margin regularly glandular; plant usually ± stout var. lanuginosum
1. Stem glabrous or almost so; leaves pubescent to subglabrous ; sepal margin glandular or eglandular; plant usually ± slender
2. Leaves scabrellous to subglabrous; sepal margin regularly glandular var. scabrellum
2. Leaves pubescent or puberulous; sepal margin eglandular var. pestalozzae
