| Description: |
Perennials, 10–25 (–35) cm tall, loosely caespitose; rhizome ascending to oblique, branched; stolons absent. Basal leaves sparsely ciliate, 1.5–4.0 mm wide; cauline leaves 2–3; upper leaves 4.5–6.0 cm long, 1.4–3.0 mm wide; all leaves with densely papillose-serrate margin and apex obtuse. Lower bract usually 1.5–3.5 cm long, overtopping inflorescence. Inflorescence usually partly congested, of 3–10 ellipsoidal to ovoid clusters; clusters (5–) 7–11 (–15)-flowered, with some or most clusters pedunculate; peduncles straight, smooth, usually without secondary branches, up to 1.0–3.5 cm long. Bracteoles 1.2–1.5 mm long, ciliate. Tepals unequal to ±equal, ±lanceolate, blackish brown, narrowly paler bordered above; outer tepals (1.9–) 2.1–2.5 (–2.7) mm long. Stamens 6; anthers (0.4–) 0.5–0.7 (–0.8) mm long; filaments 0.4–0.5 mm long; ovary 0.8–1.0 mm long; style 0.1–0.3 mm long; stigma early deciduous, 0.8–1.4 mm long. Capsules narrowly obovoid, subacute, indistinctly mucronate, equalling or shorter than perianth; capsule segments 1.7–2.0 × c. 1.0 mm. Seeds narrowly ellipsoidal, 0.9–1.0 mm long, 0.5–0.6 mm wide; appendage c. 0.1 mm long, fibrillate. 2n=48 [48CL], fide J.Kirschner, Thaiszia, J. Bot. 2: 29–30 (1992); J.Kirschner & Lippert, Ber.

| Notes: |
Towards the south, most plants have inner and outer tepals ±of the same length, otherwise the variation limits are narrow. The loosely caespitose growth with oblique/ascending branched rhizome is an important diagnostic character. |
