It would be difficult to come up with a more apt name for this plant, which grows into a shrublet up to about 20 cm tall and to 25 cm in diameter with small leaves (2-4 mm long and 2-2.5 mm thick) covered in globose papillae (longer at the base).
The white or pale pink flowers are only 8-10 mm in diameter, without or with very short stalks, and are present in October-November.
Growing on sand and shale slopes -with or without quartz- in the Montagu, Ladismith, Swellendam area.
