4-4-39 - pubescent but "viscid-glandules" (JvM) too strong
for desc. your plant. Plant (as col.) has slender, white,
under-ground, horizontal sts. (so nearly very likely
perennially matted with emergent tips to
4 cm. high. Calyx about 3 mm. Petals white not more than half
as long as sepals. Pedicels 2-3 mm. Plant looks like a miniature
edition of S. macrotheca (See 3-6-39) found also 3-20 v 4-4.
[See 4-16-39 (B) which raises queries about spec. of 4-4.
