Calyx 5-13 parted, lobes united at bae, those of first flowers longest, smaller on later flowers; corolla rotate white or pink with yellow eye, lobes 5-13, tube becoming membranous and persistent around the capsule. Capsule ovoid to ellipsoid; seeds small, alveolate." [1]
"Annual, rhizomes absent. Stems freely branched, terete or slightly angled above, 2-5 dm tall. Basal leaves present or absent at anthesis; stems leaves linear to narrowly lanceolate or elliptic-oblanceolate, 1-2.5 cm long, 1-8 mm wide, acute to obtuse. Inflorescence paniculate, branches alternate, to 3 dm long, 0.5-2.5 dm broad. Calyx lobes 5, linear, 2-7 mm long; corolla lobes white, usually white on drying, elliptic to oblanceolate, 1-1.5 cm long, 2-4 mm wide; filaments 1-2 mm long; stigmas 3-4 mm long, style 0-1 mm long. Capsule 4-5 mm long; seeds brown, 0.3-0.4 mm long." [1]
