An erect plant 22 in. high, with a stout leafy stem, bearing in 
the lower half 5 or 6 rather long ascending leaves, with a closely 
amplexicaul membranous base (15-2 in. long) and a broadiy 
linear blade 5-6 inches long and 3-4 in. broad. In the upper half 
the leaves are short, bracteiform, linear-lanceolate, sheathing the 
stem below, and subadpressed in the upper acuminate portion ; 
the lower ones are nearly 24 inches long, becoming shorter above, 
and passing into the membranous bracts, the lowermost of which 
are Lin. long. The spike is 6 inches long, neither densely nor laxly 
flowered. The oval dorsal sepal is 2} lines long by 1 line broad,
