Tufted to clump-forming, the more or less decumbent stems to 30cm in height. Leaves narrowly ovate to elliptic-oblong, to 1.5cm or more long, bright and almost glossy green, obscurely toothed, sometimes red-tinted or flushed. Flowers about 1cm in diameter, white or pink, in terminal spikes. New Zealand, lowland to subalpine, in grassland, herbfield and river terraces. A variable species in the wild, particularly as to stature, the smaller plants known as forma minor, the larger as forma major. The plant cultivated under this name is usually about 20cm tall with slightly larger, creamy-white flowers, probably a choice variant of forma minor.
