Description
Conostephium uncinatum is an erect shrub that typically grows to a height of 0.5–1.4 m (1 ft 8 in – 4 ft 7 in). Its leaves are clustered, narrowly oblong, 3.5–4.5 mm (0.14–0.18 in) long and about 0.5 mm (0.020 in) wide on a petiole 0.7 mm (0.028 in) long, with the edges rolled under and a hooked tip. The flowers are arranged singly in upper leaf axils and are 6–7 mm (0.24–0.28 in) long, 1.5 mm (0.059 in) wide and more or less sessile, the bracteoles nearly as long as the sepals. The sepals are 4.5–5.0 mm (0.18–0.20 in) long, papery and shiny, the petal tube spindle-shaped, 7.0–7.5 mm (0.28–0.30 in) and about 1 mm (0.039 in) wide. This species is similar to C. minus and C. marchantiorum but has leaves with the edges more tightly turned under, and shorter flower parts.
