Description:
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 x 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.
Distribution: Cuba, in the province of Pinar del Río, in white-sand savannas; associated species briefly discussed by Marie-Victorin & León (1944). Flowering from November through May (June).
Type: Cuba. Pinar del Río: Guane, near La Grifa, C. Wright 2199 (holotype, GOET, n.v.; isotypes, GH, MO, NY1, NY2, NY3, US, n.v.).
