Description
Nama depressa is a hairy annual plant forming a small patch of prostrate stems up to 10 centimetres (3.9 in) long. The widely lance-shaped or spoon-shaped leaves are under 2 centimetres (0.79 in) in length, and occur mostly at the distal half of the stem, leaving the stem bases bare. The tiny flower is white or pink, funnel-shaped, and just a few millimeters wide.
