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." [2]
"Annual, rhizomes absent. Stems freely branched, quadrangular, usually winged, 2-8 dm tall. Basal leaves absent or present at anthesis; stems leaves ovate to ovate-lanceolate, 1.5-5 cm long, 1-4 cm wide, acute. Inflorescence paniculate, 1-2.5 cm broad, to 3.5 dm long, branches opposite. Calyx lobes 5, linear to narrow lanceolate, 0.7-1.5 cm long; corolla lobes pink, rarely white, oblanceolate, 1.5-2cm long, 0.6-1 cm wide; filaments 3-5 mm long; stigmas and style 4-6 mm long. Capsule ellipsoid, 6-10 mm long, angles not winged; seeds blackish brown, 0.4-0.5 mm long." [2]
