bracteoles are very similar but smaller and distinctly keeled. The sepals are up to 4 mm long and imbricate with stomata only on the adaxial surface. The flowers are between 6–8 mm long, with a 4–5 mm long corolla tube, hairy in its upper part. Flowers have both male and female parts, but often function as only male or female; those that act as female can bear fruit.

Its leaves are 5–10 by 1–4 mm, alternate and spreading with greenish veins and white interveinal grooves; they have 3–5 prominent parallel veins and can have a white stripe on the underside. Leaf margins are distinctively finely hairy when young, but mostly
