Herbs, perennial, with thickened rootstock. Stems erect or ascending, 15–40 cm. Leaves: petiole absent or indistinct, blade linear to linear-elliptic or lanceolate, (25–)30–60(–115) × 1.5–14(–15) mm, chartaceous, base attenuate, apex acuminate, acute, or rounded and mucronate; only midvein evident.
