Caulescent, slender, erect, 8-30 cm high, clothed with both short simple and longer pluricellular capitate hairs. Bulb ovoid, acute at the apex, 1.2-2 cm long, with rather thin brown tunics. Rhizome slender, up to 12 cm long. Stem slender, rarely branched, leafy, particularly on the upper part, in the taller plants usually almost naked below, with a few scales towards the base. Leaves cauline, the topmost often somewhat congested; lower petioles very short, squamiform, the upper often 1 cm long, slender terete; leaflets 3, shortly petiolulate, obcordate, cuneate-obcordate or cuneate-oblong, 3-9 mm long, thin, glabrous above, pilose beneath, ciliate. Peduncles 1-fld., rather numerous, in the leaf-axils on the upper half of the stem, 3-9 cm long, ebracteate. Sepals lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, 3-5 mm long. Corolla 1.5-2.5 cm long, sparsely glandular-puberulous, pale violet or white, with a narrowly funnel-shaped yellow tube; petals broadly spathulate or with the laminae narrow-obovate, about as long as the tapering claw. Filaments glabrous, the shorter 3-5.5 mm, the longer 5-9 mm long, with narrow teeth; anthers small, somewhat triangular. Ovary glabrous or pubescent at the apex, the chambers 1-ovuled; styles pubescent below, glandular-pilose above. Seeds without endosperm.
