The leaves are flat, 70–290 mm (2.8–11.4 in) long and 1.5–2.0 mm (0.059–0.079 in) wide and glabrous, apart from bristly hairs on the edges. The flowers are arranged in groups of 10 to 20 on a hairy flowering stalk 45–85 mm (1.8–3.3 in) long with bracts 15–25 mm (0.59–0.98 in) long at the base. The perianth is yellow, 10–15 mm (0.39–0.59 in) long with more or less equal lobes 4–7 mm (0.16–0.28 in) long. The anthers are about 2.5 mm (0.098 in) long and the style 5–8 mm (0.20–0.31 in) long.
