Stems reddish- brown, 4-lined when young, eventually terete, without epidermal wrinkles, cortex flaking irregularly; internodes 2-10 mm long. Leaves sessile, spreading from the base, not tetrastichous, becoming brown and deflexed, usually persistent until cortex is shed; lamina (7-)8-16(-20) x (2.2-)3-5.2(-7) mm, narrowly elliptic to narrowly oblong, plane, not concave or carinate, concolorous, pale green, chartaceous; apex rounded, base cuneate, not sheathing, pairs united to form a narrow interfoliar ridge; basal or near-basal veins 5-7, with branches and tertiary reticulation rather conspicuous; laminar glands dense, visible beneath only. Inflorescence 1 (2)- flowered, mostly terminal and lateral, occasionally pseudo-dichotomous; peduncle and pedicels 4-7 mm long; upper leaves not transitional. Flowers 20-35 mm in diam., stellate. Sepals 6-10.5 x 2.4-3.5 mm, lanceolate or narrowly elliptic to narrowly oblong or oblanceolate, subacute to rounded; veins 5-7, not or obscurely branched, midrib not prominent; glands distally punctiform. Petals bright yellow, 10-21 x 7-13 mm, c. 2 x sepals, oblanceolate; apiculus obtuse; glands distally interrupted. Stamens c. 100, 'obscurely 5-fascicled', longest c. 7 mm long, 0.4-0.5 x petals. Ovary 2.5-3.5 x 2.5 mm, ovoid; styles 3-4, 4.5-6 mm long, c. 2 x ovary, spreading, distally incurved; stigmas narrowly capitate. Capsule c. 8 x 5 mm, subglobose, shorter than sepals. Seeds not seen.
