Description:
Description: Stem ± densely covered with unicellular hairs, with sparse to dense covering of glandular-headed hairs and often with long-celled hairs. Leaves (3-)3.5-14 x 0.5-3(-4) mm; adaxial surface lacking to densely covered with unicellular hairs throughout, with sparse to dense covering of glandular-headed hairs and sometimes a few long-celled hairs. Pedicels very sparsely to densely covered with unicellular hairs, variable in length, thus giving the inflorescence a compact to open appearance. Flowers with calyx lobes 3-6 mm long; abaxial surface moderately to densely (or occasionally only sparsely) covered with unicellular hairs throughout, with a sparse to dense covering of glandular-headed hairs, often also with long-celled hairs. Capsules with or without unicellular hairs.
Distribution: Cuba, on the Isle of Pines (=Isle of Youth), in whitesand savannas and pinelands with the dominants: Pinus tropicalis, P. caribaea, Colpothrinax wrightii, and Acoelorraphe wrightii; for detailed discussion of vegetation along with lists of characteristic species see Jennings (1917), Marie-Victorin & León (1944), and Alain (1946b). Flowering from November through May.
Type: Cuba. Isle of Pines: Los Indios, 17 May 1910, Jennings 324 (holotype, NY; isotype, MO).
