| Description: |
Perennials, usually 15–25 cm tall, densely or rarely loosely caespitose; rhizome short, without stolons. Basal leaves usually up to 8–10 cm long, (2.5–) 3.0–4.0 (–5.0) mm wide; cauline leaves 1–2, usually 2.5–4.0 cm long, 2–3 mm wide; all leaves with obtuse tip and densely papillose-serrulate margins. Inflorescence composed of 1 (–3) subsessile and 2–6 (–7) pedunculate ovoid to hemispherical (5–) 7–9 (–11)-flowered clusters; peduncles straight, rarely slightly flexuose, ±smooth, without secondary branches; longest peduncles up to 2–4 cm long. Lower bract usually 1–3 cm long, shorter than inflorescence. Bracteoles membranous, 1.5–2.5 mm long, ovate, fimbriate-ciliate above. Tepals ±equal, entire, acuminate, usually 2.9–3.5 mm long, dark to blackish brown, with indistinct paler brownish margins. Stamens 6; anthers (0.8–) 1.1–1.3 (–1.4) mm long; filaments c. 0.5–0.6 mm long; style 0.7–1.1 mm long; stigmas 1.8–3.0 mm long, subpersistent. Capsule ±obovoid, ±shorter than perianth, pale brown to dark brown; capsule segments 2.4–3.0 mm long. Seeds 1.0–1.2 mm long, 0.7–0.8 mm wide; appendage (0.2–) 0.3–0.4 (–0.5) mm long. 2n=12 [12AL], fide J.Kirschner, Thaiszia 2: 30–31 (1992). Fig. 22. |

| Notes: |
Similar to L. abchasica and L. campestris. From the latter it differs in caespitose growth and seed characters. A very variable species (fide J.Kirschner, 1993: 170–172); the isolated populations differ from one another in a number of minor quantitative traits. |
