Leaves twenty-five to thirty, spreading, not aggregated, oblanceolate, the largest an inch or rather more long by three-eighths of an inch broad five-sixths of the way up, the apex rounded with a slight point, the lower three-quarters slightly spathulately narrowed, the blade one-eighth of an inch thick, the colour a shining bright light green, finally tinged with red.

Flowering branches half a foot long, with several tolerably close erecto-patent leaves, like those of the stem but smaller.

Flowers four to eight in a tolerably close raceme an  inch and a half to two inches long. Lower bracts oblanceolate, half an inch to five-eighths of an inch long. Pedicels erecto-patent, the lowest one-fourth to three-eighths of an inch long.
