Herbs perennial, usually terrestrial, (10-)20-45(-50) cm high, all parts pubescent. Stolons present, slender, leafless. Stems often very fleshy, often reddish. Petiole (0.5-)1-1.5 cm; leaf blades elliptic-obovate, those at base of stem sometimes suborbicular, abaxially often reddish, 2-4(-6.5) × 1-2(-4) cm, ± membranous when dried, glandular, both surfaces pubescent, base tapered to cuneate, apex rounded to subacute; veins 3(-5). Spikes terminal and from axils of apical leaves, sometimes fascicled, (3.5-)5-8(-12) cm, flowers lax; peduncle 0.5-1.5(-2) cm; rachis 2.5-10 cm × (0.5-)1-2 mm; bracts ± orbicular, ca. 0.8 mm wide, gland dotted. Filaments short, thecae rounded-"D"-shaped. Ovary obovoid, apex obtuse to emarginate. Nutlet sometimes borne on shortly conical false pedicel when fully ripe, globose to broadly ellipsoid, 0.5-0.8(-1.2) mm, obscurely papillate. Fl. Apr-Dec.
Terrestrial, epiphytic or epilithic herb, erect or ascending from rooting base. Stem villous, often fuscous, green or reddish, 10-20(-60) cm long. Leaves opposite or in whorls of 3-7 (sometimes dimorphic), basely attached; petiole 0.2-1(-1.8) cm long, pubescent; blade slightly fleshy, elliptic, narrowly elliptic, or obovate, often rhombic, 2-8 x 0.8-4 cm, margin ciliate, apex acute or somewhat acuminate, base acute, pubescent usually on both sides; palmately 3(-5)-veined. Inflorescence terminal or axillary, single or few together; peduncle 0.7-3.2 cm long, pubescent or crisp-pubescent; spike 2.5-15 cm long, green, densely to laxly flowered; floral bracts rounded, glandular. Fruits subbasely attached, globose to ovoid, more or less verruculose, brown, apex oblique with subapical stigma.
