Leaves: sheaths reddish, throat pilose; blade sparsely pubescent; basal leaves 32 cm × 12 mm; cauline leaves 2–4, 2–4 cm × 2–5 mm. Inflorescences cymose, not rarely branching or often branching to 6 cm; proximal inflorescence bract 1/2–2/3 inflorescence length; bracts straw-colored, apex truncate, lacerate, glabrous or pubescent; bracteoles lance-ovate, 1/3–1/2 tepal length; pedicels single or paired, erect to spreading, 1–4 cm. Flowers: tepals pale to dark brown, 3–4.5 mm, margins entire, clear; anthers 2 times filament length; stigmas ± equaling style length.
