Acaulescent bulbous herb with a vertical rhizome 1–10 cm. long.. Bulb solitary at base of rhizome, ovoid-ellipsoid, up to 12 mm. long and 6–12 mm. in diameter, covered by 2 or more dirty brown reticulate scales.. Leaves 3-foliolate, appearing in a rosette at the soil-surface, with petioles widening at the base; leaflets sessile, broadly obovate, cuneate, the middle one usually shallowly emarginate, slightly wider than the lateral ones, 5–11 mm. long and 9–19 mm. wide, and with a distinct midvein, the lateral ones 5–11 mm. long and 5.5–16 mm. wide, with no midvein but with up to 4 veins arising from the base, usually foveolate on both sides, glabrous or rarely ciliate on the midvein below.. Flowers solitary on erect peduncles longer than petioles; bracts 2, linear, l.5–2(–4) mm. long.. Sepals oblong-lanceolate, sometimes with 2 apical calli, 3–4(–5) mm. long, shortly hairy and ciliate at the top, usually tinged purple.. Petals pink or purple, sometimes with a yellow base, narrowly obovate, 10–23 mm. long, entire, hairy in part on the outside.. Filaments glabrous.. Styles densely hairy; flowers can be long-styled (styles longer than both stamen whorls), mid-styled (styles intermediate in length between the 2 stamen whorls) or short-styled (styles shorter than both stamen whorls), but the homostylous condition (styles as long as long filaments) has not been noticed; stigmas laciniate.. Capsule globose, shorter than the sepals, 3–3.5 mm. long, terminated by the persistent styles.. Seeds 1 or 2 in each locule, 1 mm. long, light brown with faint markings.
Perennial herb, up to 200 mm high. Tunics roughly veined. Leaflets broadly obovate, 8-18 x 12-25 mm, often with obscure calli. Flowers: peduncle 1-flowered; sepals ecallose, with apices acute, pilose; petals rosy or rosy-violaceous, rarely white, tube yellow, 14-23 mm long; Nov.-Mar.
Leave 3-foliolate; leaflet-lamina up to 17 × 4 mm., subcircular to very broadly obovate or transversely elliptic, apex rounded to shallowly emarginate, base cuneate or slightly attenuate, glabrous or sparsely pubescent and usually distinctly faveolate; petiole 2–9 cm. long.
