Description
Variety Description - Stems lacking unicellular hairs or very sparsely covered with such hairs, with a moderate to dense covering of long-celled hairs and glandular-headed hairs. Leaves (3-)4-9 × 0.5-1.7(-3) mm; adaxial surface lacking unicellular hairs or only sparsely covered with such hairs on midvein, especially near base, with scattered glandular-headed hairs and conspicuous, long-celled hairs, especially along margin near base. Pedicels lacking unicellular hairs, usually longer than subtending leaves, thus giving inflorescence an open appearance. Flowers with calyx lobes 3-5 mm long; abaxial surface with a few unicellular hairs near apex and along margin, with scattered glandular-headed and long-celled hairs. Capsules lacking unicellular hairs.
