Plants 100-160 mm high. Stem usually roughly hairy, or ± glabrous, usually (1)2 internodes long above insertion of basal foliage leaf or leaves, several-branched from base or from upper node (rarely unbranched), basal internode elongating in fruit. Foliage leaves 2 to 4, sometimes loosely twisted, lowermost ± basal, channelled below, ± as long as or longer than stem, finely to roughly hairy on veins or sometimes glabrous, margins undulate, long-ciliate. Rhipidial spathes usually hairy on veins and margins, inner (35-)40-60 mm long, outer usually slightly shorter than inner, rarely ± 1/2 as long, sometimes not sheathing distally. Flowers yellow or salmon-pink, occasionally yellow with salmon-pink inner tepals and style branches, outer tepal limbs with yellow nectar guides at bases edged green or red, ± spreading; outer tepals 25-30 x 8-9 mm, inner tepals lanceolate, ± 23 x 10 mm. Filaments 4-6 mm long; anthers 3-5 mm long, dark purple; pollen red or yellow. Ovary smooth or finely velvety, 5-6 mm long, style branches 6-8 mm long, crests 10-15 mm long. Capsules broadly elliptic-oblong, 7-9 x ± 5 mm long.
