Epicalyx-segments ovate to oblong, free nearly to the base, shorter than the sepals; sepals broadly triangular-ovate, strongly accrescent, completely covering the ripe fruit; petals 8-15 mm, purple. Dorsal face of mericarps flat, reticulate; lateral faces strongly ridged; angles sharp, denticulate. Maritime rocks. C. & S. Portugal; IE. Spain.?Hs Lu. (N.W. Africa.)
