This is a delicate annual herb with slender, waxy stems growing no more than about 20 centimeters long. The leaves are linear or lance-shaped with toothed edges or sometimes lobes, and a base that clasps the stem. The inflorescence is a dense raceme of flowers with four spoon-shaped white to purple petals each about 2 millimeters long. The fruit is a flat, round, disc-like capsule with a fringed, often perforated wing encircling it. Threats to the species have included herbivory by non-native animal species such as feral pigs, picking and trampling of plants by collectors of rare species, competition from introduced and weedy plant species such as ice plant (Carpobrotus spp.), fire suppression, and climate change.[4] The feral pigs, which damaged many populations of rare plants, have been removed from the Channel Islands.[4] References1. ^{{PLANTS|id=THCO9|taxon=Thysanocarpus conchuliferus|accessdate=10 December 2015}} 2. ^The Nature Conservancy 3. ^California Native Plant Society Rare Plant Profile 4. ^1 2 USFWS.
