Rhizome short, vertical or oblique. Stem 20-70 cm, pubescent, especially above, usually purplish below, with sheathing scales. Leaves distichous, 4-10, ovate to lanceolate, acute, with more or less undulate margin. Bracts linear-lanceolate, the lower exceeding the flowers.

A group of largely autogamous taxa which are probably derived from the allogamous facies of 3 and which are possibly con- specific. The distributions are not well-known and dubious records have been omitted below.
