An.
lanceolata has branching stems, reaching around 8 cm in height.
It has smooth, hairless, tapering leaves (2–3 cm long) with flat upper surfaces and acute-lanceolate tips.

It grows relatively few, long bristly hairs between its leaves (axillary hairs).
In subspecies lanceolata, these bristles are shorter than the leaves, while in the subspecies nebrownii they are longer.

It has a branched inflorescence with broadly ovate petals, 30-45 stamens per flower and angular seeds.
The flowers are pink or white.
