Description
A small, low, clumping shrub. The leaves are tipped with radiating bristles (diadems) that have dark cup cells at the base. These bristles come together to form a hard and extremely sharp point.
The solitary flowers are pink, on short stalks, and the base of the calyx is hairy.
The fruit capsule has five locules (not six like T. marlothii).[1]
