The leaf blade is oblong-linear to narrowly lanceolate or oblanceolate, and from 0.5 to 5 cm long, with a heart-shaped base. The inflorescences occur in short dense clusters. The sepals are triangular and about. 0.2 mm long, with the petals being about 0.5 to 1 mm long. There are 4 stamens. The capsule is globular and from 1.5 to 2.5 mm in diameter.[6]
