The leaves are clustered and more or less needle-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and about Шаблон:Cvt wide with the edges rolled under, concealing the lower surface. The flowers are sessile, arranged in clusters of up to 8 at the ends of branches and are white, tube-shaped, Шаблон:Cvt long and surrounded by 4 or 5 hairy brown bracts about half as long as the floral tube. The sepals are Шаблон:Cvt long and silky-hairy, the style nearly as long as the floral tube. Flowering occurs in most months.[1][2]
