Leaves usually numerous at anthesis, scattered on the stolons, linear-oblanceolate to obovate-spathulate, 2–15 mm. long, 0.3–2 mm. wide, 1-nerved. Traps numerous, ovoid, stalked, 0.6–1.0 mm. long; mouth terminal provided with dorsal and ventral radiating rows of glandular hairs. Inflorescence erect, 2–16 cm. high; flowers 1–5(8), distant; scape filiform, smooth above, usually papillose at the base; scales few, similar to the bracts; bracts basifixed, ovate-lanceolate, acute, more or less 1 mm. long; bracteoles similar but narrower; pedicels 0.5–1 mm. long.
