The deltoid teeth on the cartilaginous leaf margin are 1 millimeter long. The leaf sheaths are long.

The flowers, which are red below and lighter above, are tipped green and stand on 7 millimeter long flower stalks . They are 20 millimeters long and rounded at their base. Above the ovary , the flowers are slightly narrowed. Your outer tepals are not fused together over a length of about 6.5 millimeters. The stamens and the stylus do not protrude from the flower.
