Small, stemless. Bulb ovoid, acute at the apex, 1.5-2 cm long; tunics rather thin, brown, splitting at the base. Rhizome slender, 2-6 cm long, minutely glandular-puberulous. Leaves few or fairly numerous, rosulate; petioles up to 2 cm long, rather densely glandular-pubescent; leaflets 3, broadly cuneate-rotund, emarginate, or cuneate-obcordate, lightly incised at the apex, 3-7 mm long, 4-10 mm broad, glabrous on both faces, minutely glandular-ciliate, usually reddish-purple beneath, with numerous rather conspicuous reddish-brown calli, particularly near the margins. Peduncles 1-fld., 6-12 cm long, much longer than the leaves, minutely glandular-pubescent, with 2 small linear opposite bracts at an articulation towards the apex. Sepals more or less broadly lanceolate, 3-4 mm long, sparsely glandular. Corolla 0.9-1.7 cm long, glandular, rose-red (often drying bluish-violet), with a rather narrowly funnel-shaped yellow tube; laminae of the petals obliquely cuneate, about as long as the tapering claw. Filaments, the longer 2.5-5 mm long, minutely glandular-pubescent, edentate. Ovary glandular on the upper part, the chambers 2-3-ovuled; styles glandular-pubescent. Seeds with thin endosperm, the embryo green.
