Pseudumbel 3-5-rayed, the rays usually once or twice bifid, rarely more; axillary rays 1 or more below the pseudumbel; pseudumbel-leaves 3-5, whorled, obovate-suborbicular, usually slightly shorter and broader than the 'upper stem-leaves; ray-leaves opposite, smaller than the pseudumbel-leaves but otherwise resembling them. Cyathia shortly pedunculate or subsessile. Glands variable, in Baluchistan usualy crescentic, concave on the outer edge and with 2 horns arising from the points, the horns being short, or as long as the width of the gland and simple, channelled, lobulate or laciniate; glands yellowish-ochreous, horns stramineous. Fruit long-pedicellate, the pedicels upto 5 mm long, trilobate-subglobose to trilobate-ellipsoid, 3-3.5 x 3-3.5 mm, smooth, pale green, minutely white-punctate. Styles at first divaricate, later recurved-spreading, 1.5 mm long, united at the base, bifid, the stigmas thickened.
