a leafy, clumping, exceedingly glandular pubescent perennial on limestone gravels at base of hillside road cut. ID is difficult, to stay the least, and it likely would be simply lumped under M. albida by most authorities. Note leaves to 1.5 cm wide, without short petioles, and clumping habit placing it outside M. linearis.
