description

Corpuscularia lehmannii grows in the shape of a pillow, has a taproot and also forms some adventitious roots on prostrate shoots . The two-edged internodes are longer than the triangular, glaucous leaves . Your keel is initially crooked, the tip of the blade is rounded. On long shoots , the leaves are usually 20 to 25 millimeters long and 8 to 10 millimeters wide and are spaced apart. On short shoots they are almost hemispherical and almost brick-like. They are 12 to 16 millimeters long and 6 to 8 millimeters wide and thick.

The white to straw-colored petals of the flowers become longer towards the middle. The capsule fruits are at their wide funnel-shaped base of Brakteolen wrapped. They contain seeds 0.9 to 1 millimeter long and 0.6 to 0.75 millimeter wide .
