Scape erect, largely concealed by the leaves. Scape-bracts about equaling the internodes, ovate-elliptic, apiculate, pale-lepidote. Inflorescence digitate or pinnate, from 2 to 9 spikes, equaling or slightly exceeding the leaves. Primary bracts like the scape-bracts, extending no higher than the low- est flower of the spike. Spikes densely 12- to 22-flowered, straight, nearly erect, 3-6 cm. long, about 1 cm. wide. Floral bracts 4 mm. long, distinctly shorter than the sepals, convex, ecarinate, ovate, obtuse, sparsely pale-lepidote, even, thin. Flowers sessile, nearly erect.
