- Morphology General Habit
- Terrestrial herb.
- Morphology General Rhizoids
- Rhizoids and stolons capillary, few from the base of the scape.
- Morphology Leaves
- Leaves 3–6, rosulate at the base of the scape and usually present at anthesis, linear, 3-nerved, up to 6 cm. long, 1.5–5 mm. wide.
- Morphology General Traps
- Traps few, globose, shortly stalked, glandular, 0.8–1.1 mm. long; mouth basal; upper lip with 2 subulate appendages.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Inflorescences
- Inflorescence erect or rarely twining, 2–15(–20) cm. high; scape filiform, glabrous; flowers 1–8; scales few, similar to the bracts; bracts basifixed, ovate, acuminate, 1.5–2 mm. long, 1–3-nerved; bracteoles linear-subulate, shorter than the bracts; pedicels erect or ascending, (1–)1.5–3 times as long as the calyx, narrowly winged.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Calyx
- Calyx-lobes broadly ovate, 1.5–2.5 mm. long at anthesis, becoming longer and relatively broader in fruit, slightly unequal; upper acute; lower shorter, apex bidentate.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Corolla
- Corolla yellow, 4–10 mm. long; upper lip ± as long as the upper calyx-lobe, narrowly oblong, apex rounded, truncate or emarginate; lower lip orbicular, apex entire, emarginate or obscurely 3-crenate; palate scarcely raised, obscurely 2-gibbous; spur conical-subulate, acute, curved.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Androecium Stamens
- Filaments linear, slightly curved; anther-thecae subdistinct.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Flowers Gynoecium Pistil
- Ovary narrowly ovoid; stigma subsessile, lower lip truncate or rounded, upper lip smaller, truncate.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Fruits
- Capsule broadly oblong, dorsiventrally compressed, smaller than the calyx, dehiscing by a longitudinal abaxial slit with thickened margins in the upper half.
- Morphology Reproductive morphology Seeds
- Seeds few, ovoid, verrucose, 0.4–0.6 mm. long; testa rather loose and corky, cells irregular, much longer than broad.
- Habitat
- Swamp, Sphagnum bogs and wet rocks; 1100–1800 m.
- Distribution
- T1 U3 U4 from Guinée to Zambia and Angola
