Description.

Plants perennial, sometimes densely cespitose or pulvinate or with a stout woody caudex, very rarely annual. Leaves filiform to subulate, often long-linear and grass-like, sometimes short and setaceous or needle-like, congested in vegetative rosettes and at or near base of flowering stems, margin sometimes scarious, apex of ten apiculate. Inflorescence of one or more terminal cymes, sometimes compressed to head-like, sometimes flowers solitary or paired. Flowers weakly perigynous. Sepals often hardened at base, veins 1-3, margins often white-scarious. Petals white, rarely pink. Floral glands (nectaries) at base of the antisepalous filaments often lobed, conspicuous.
