Description

Perennial glabrous plant with 30 stems 15–20 cm (5.9–7.9 in) tall, branched in the lower parts, rather densely leafy. Its 4-6 leaves 11 mm (0.43 in) apart are linear, 3.5–4 cm (1.4–1.6 in) long and 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) broad, fleshy, semicylindrical, ribbed at base, subobtuse. Inflorescence lax, 2.5–5 cm (0.98–1.97 in) long, 2–8-flowered. Pedicels mostly 5–7 mm (0.20–0.28 in) long (very rarely 3 mm (0.12 in)). Calyx subglabrous, with isolated glandular hairs at base and along margins of lobes. Corolla light yellow, 9–10 mm (0.35–0.39 in) long, with two orange stripes in throat; spur slender, pointed, straight or slightly curved, 8–9 mm (0.31–0.35 in) long. Capsule globose or slightly elongated, 4 mm (0.16 in) in diameter. Seeds smooth, with membranous margin, 2 mm (0.079 in) long.[5][6][7]
