Leaves usually connate proximally, with scarious sheath 0.2–0.4 mm, petiolate (proximal leaves) or sessile; petiole 2–4 mm; blade 1-veined, vein ± weak abaxially, ovate (petiolate blades) or elliptic-lanceolate to oblanceolate, 5–15(–20) × 2–4 mm, herbaceous, margins undulate, scarious, shiny, sparsely ciliate especially proximally, apex acute to apiculate or cuspidate, often pustulate, glabrous; axillary leaf clusters absent. Inflorescences terminal, open, leafy, 3–50+-flowered cymes. Pedicels erect to reflexed in fruit, 10–40 mm, glabrous.
