Plant (13.6–)24.8–38.9 (−45.4) cm high. Stem (3.0–)3.6–5.6(−8.0) mm in diameter immediately below the inflorescence. Sheathing leaves (excluding cataphylls) (1–)2–4(−5); the longest one (6.2–)8.2–13.2(−17.8) times as long as wide, (0.2–)0.3–0.5(−0.8) times as long as the height of the plant, describing an adaxial angle of (30–)39–68(−85)° to the stem. Non-sheathing leaves below the inflorescence (3–)5–8(−11).Inflorescence (3.9–)5.4–9.8(−14.5) cm long, (0.1–)0.2–0.3(−0.4) times as long as the height of the plant, carrying (8–)12–23 (−37) yellow flowers.
