Erect shrubs to 0.5 m high, multi-stemmed at base and probably resprouting after fire; young branchlets glabrous. Leaves scattered, spreading, oblong, (3–)4–6(–8) mm long, 1–1.2 mm wide, the margins strongly recurved to the prominent midrib, obscuring the abaxial lamina; petiole 0.5–1 mm long, the hypopetiole glabrous, dark brown, persistent as a woody peg on the stem, the epipetiole very short and densely woolly; adaxial lamina not tuberculate, minutely muricate, glabrous except at the very base where white-woolly; abaxial lamina (visible only by dissection) densely pubescent; abaxial midrib glabrous, minutely papillate laterally where it abuts the margins, rounded, ± level with the margins, with an obscure, pale sclerenchymatous central stripe bordered on either side by chlorenchyma; apex obtuse and shortly pungent-apiculate. Flowers sessile, terminal and terminating short-shoots; flower-subtending bracts 2 or 3, with a broadened pale base and a reddish-brown, scarious, narrowly triangular, acute lamina, the primary bract c. 1.5 mm long. Sepals broadly ovate to broadly elliptic, c. 5 mm long, the outer glabrous, the inner with sparse, minute substellate hairs where covered by the outer in bud; midribs not prominent; outer sepals shortly acuminate; inner sepals similar to the outer but less acuminate and broader. Petals 5, yellow, obovate, c. 7 mm long, broadly emarginate. Stamens 10, all on one side of the gynoecium and curving over it like a hand of bananas; filaments c. 0.7 mm long; anthers rectangular, c. 2 mm long, dehiscing by introrse, longitudinal slits. Staminodes absent. Carpels 2; ovaries compressed-globular, densely pubescent; styles curving excentrically from the carpel apex, c. 1.8 mm long. Ovules 4 per carpel. Fruiting carpels and seeds not seen.
