is a perennial herb growing in forest edges or grasslands in
mountainous regions. Its short stem emerges with a bundle of linear
leaves 10-25cm long and 2-4mm wide. Flower stalks are delicate,
measuring 5-10cm in length, with single, rarely two, flowers at the
tips. The perianth segments, which are 6 in number, are 4-6mm in
length and have long hairs, especially abundant on the tip portions.
