Bulb solitary, ovoid, 13-30 mm diam., with lightly fibrous, greyish brown outer tunics, whitish within; neck up to 70 mm long or lacking. Leaves absent or incipient at anthesis, 2(-3), usually appressed to the ground, lorate to narrowly elliptical or ovate, 25-100 x 13-28 mm; adaxial surface dark green, glabrous; abaxial surface light green, sometimes flushed with red basally; margin minutely ciliate; subtended by a subterranean amplexicaul cataphyll and non-amplexicaul prophyll. Inflorescence a lax umbel, 35-100 mm across; scape flexuose, 60-210 mm long, 1.5-3.0 mm diam., wine-red, sometimes tinged with green, breaking off at the base in fruit; spathe valves broadly lanceolate, 15-30 x 3.0-4.5 mm; bracteoles up to 10 mm long. Flowers 5-14, spreading, widely funnel-shaped, glistening pink with a contrasting reddish pink median band on both surfaces of each tepal, ageing to darker pink, scentless; pedicels straight to upwardly curved, 25-55 mm long, wine-red, occasionally green.

Stamens longer or equalling the tepals, suberect to slightly spreading; filaments separate, up to 22 mm long, adnate to the style base for 2.0-3.5 mm, with the inner whorl attached slightly higher than the outer; anthers subcentrifixed, 2-3 mm long before opening, deep maroon; pollen cream-coloured. Ovary with (2-)4-7(-9) ovules per locule. Style up to 20 mm long, equalling the stamens, somewhat thickened and trigonous proximally, tapering smoothly upwards, with nectar collecting in 3 sinuses formed by the attachment with the inner filaments.
