Descriptions
- Dillon et al. (2007)
Habit
Succulent, spreading annual herb 30–100 cm across. Flowering in October.
Key characteristics
Closely resembles Nolana philippiana by having similar leaves and pubescence. However, N. dianae has flowers which have very distinctive colouration – white with deep purple guides, and by its narrowly funnel-shaped corollas.
