Leaves 3 to 5, lower 2 or 3 basal, lowermost shortest, others shorter or longer than stem, 1-2 mm wide, plane when dry with slightly raised main vein, possibly inflated and terete when live in some populations, upper leaves cauline and partly sheathing, uppermost entirely sheathing, often vestigial. Spike (1)3-or 4-flowered, branches 1-to 3-flowered; bracts green, hyaline or reddish along margins, 6-8 mm long, inner ± as long, or longer than outer. Flowers actinomorphic, white (to creamy white), often yellow in throat, rotate to cup-like, outer tepals usually flushed deep pink or purple outside; perianth tube 6-8 mm long, exceeding bracts by 1-2 mm or more; tepals 8-15 x ± 6 mm. Filaments erect, equal, 3-5 mm long; anthers 3-5 mm long, white; pollen creamy white. Style dividing opposite or above apex of anthers, branches 3-4 mm long. Capsules ± ovoid, 7-8 mm long.
