Tepals blue, lanceolate-ovate, ± equal, outer whorl slightly larger than inner, 24–32 × 14–17 mm; filaments distinct, ca. 3.5 mm; anthers 6–7 mm; ovary conic, often included in spathes, ca. 4 mm; style 10–12 mm; branches 3, flat, less than 2 mm.

Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Calydorea coelestina blooms well only after a fire. The flowers open at sunrise and last about three hours. The species is rare, but not currently threatened. A single collection from Camden County, southern Georgia (Schallert s.n., UC) requires confirmation.
