Leaves linear, tapering towards the ends, 2–3 in. long, 1/6 in. wide. Racemes at length 9–12 in.; bracts persistent, minute. Pedicels filiform, spreading, equalling or exceeding the outer sepals. Wing-sepals obliquely rotundate, shortly unguiculate, with about 5 looping nerves. Lateral petals broadly elliptical with a recurved tooth towards the base on the inner side. Capsule elliptic-oblong, retuse, ciliate, not winged.
