[4] Leaves are typically petiolate, with entire, dentate or undulate leaf margins which are conspicuously white and thickened.

[4] Morphologically, leaves range from linear to elliptic or ovate to obovate, where lamina gradually narrow to the petiole.

[4] Wahlenbergia albomarginata thrives where there is low annual rainfall such as in dry, lowland tussock-grassland, river terraces, rocky and sub-alpine habitats.

[4] Seedlings begin as slender tap roots below ground, which later develop into slim, pliable, interlacing rhizome systems.

Above ground, leafy shoots emerge from the rootstock, eventually growing in a thin, long stalk with a single flower ontop.
