Inflorescence erect or rarely twining, 2–15(20) cm. high; filiform, glabrous; flowers 1–8; scales few, similar to the bracts; bracts basifixed, ovate, acuminate, 1.5–2 mm. long 1–3-nerved; bracteoles linear-subulate, shorter than the bracts; pedicels erect or ascending, (1)1.5–13 times as long as the calyx, narrowly winged.
Corolla yellow, 4–10 mm. long; superior lip more or less as long as the upper calyx-lobe, narrowly oblong with apex rounded, truncate or emarginate; inferior lip circular, with apex entire, emarginate or obscurely 3-crenate; palate scarcely raised, obscurely 2-gibbous; spur conical-subulate, acute, curved.
Calyx lobes broadly ovate, 1.5–2.5 mm. long at anthesis, becoming longer and relatively broader in friut, slightly unequal; upper acute; lower shorter, with apex bidentate.
Capsule broadly oblong, dorsiventrally compressed, smaller than the calyx, dehiscing by a longitudinal ventral slit with thickened margins in the upper half.
Leaves 3–6, rosulate at the base of the peduncle and usually present at anthesis, linear, 3-nerved, up to 6 cm. long, 1.5–5 mm. wide.
Seeds few, ovoid, verrucose, 0.4–0.6 mm. long; testa rather loose and corky, cells irregular, much longer than broad.
Traps few, globose, shortly stalked, glandular, 0.8–1.1 mm. long; mouth basal, with 2 dorsal subulate appendages.
Erect or twining scape arising from a rosette of thalloid linear leaves and bearing a few small yellow flowers.
Ovary narrowly ovoid; stigma subsessile, inferior lip truncate or rounded, superior lip smaller, truncate.
Rhizoids and stolons capillary, few from the base of the peduncle.
Filaments linear, slightly curved; anther thecae subdistinct.
