Lvs very close-set, overlapping, hiding stems, opp. except in floral region, erect or ascending, sessile or very nearly so. Lamina narrow- to ovate-oblong, 15-20 × 5 mm., subacute, cuneately narrowed to base, thick, coriac., ± rugulose below, glab.; margins distantly denticulate. Fls concentrated at tips of branches, ± 8 mm. diam.; calyx-lobes lanceolate to narrow-ovate 4-5 mm. long; petals ± 8 mm. long, pale rose. Capsules glab., shining, purplish, 30-40 mm. long; peduncles up to 4 mm. long, glab. Seeds densely papillose.
Epilobium glabellum G.Forst.
Stems us. many, up to 35 cm., decumbent and woody at base, erect above; branches us. several ascending, not rigid, often purple to reddish, with 2-4 lines of pubescence. Lvs somewhat remote to close-set, opp. except in floral region, subsessile or on petioles up to 2 mm. long. Lamina narrow-ovate to narrow-oblong to elliptic-oblong, (8)-10-15-(20) × (3)-5-(8) mm., submembr. to coriac., often red- or purple-tinged, glab., glossy; margins rather remotely sinuate-denticulate.
