[1] According to POWO and the WCSP, it is a synonym of Trichodiadema intonsum.

The erectly held branches are one feature that can distinguish this species from its relatives.

This basal caudex is mostly underground, but the top of it often rises out of the ground.

It also has the typical Trichodiadema diadem of bristles on the tip of each leaf.

The dense bristles make a spider-web like covering over the entire plant.
