Description
A small, compact, clumping shrub. The leaves are tipped with white radiating bristles (the typical diadems of the genus).
The flowers are reddish in colour, with filamentous staminodes at the centre.
The pale fruit capsule has six locules (not five like T. burgeri), each with very well developed covering membranes.
This species very closely resembles Trichodiadema burgeri, which is more elongated and has five locules.[1]
