Perennial acaulous herb with thick, fleshy, glassy white, contractile root below the main bulb which is surrounded by numerous small bulbils; tunic brown; scales 3-7-nerved. Lvs 3-foliolate. Petiole (5)-10-50 cm long, glabrous or sparsely hairy; stipular wing broad, membranous, long-ciliate. Lamina of leaflets equal or nearly so, sessile, 12-50 × 18-80 mm, broadly fishtail-shaped, shallowly and broadly 2-lobed, glabrous except for ± hairy base, finely reticulate beneath, not punctate; calli 0 or inconspicuous. Infl. c. 10-50 cm tall, pseudoumbellate, c. 5-15-(20)-flowered, glabrous or nearly so; pedicels very variable in length, ± deflexed at first, usually glabrous. Bracts at pedicel base, c. 3 mm long, lacking calli. Sepals 3-5.5 mm long, lanceolate-elliptic to elliptic, glabrous; calli 2, orange, prominent, apical. Petals c. 1.2-1.5 cm long, oblong-obovate, pink, glabrous. Stamens at 2 levels; filaments of longer set c. 4-5 mm long, hirsute above, glabrous and dilated below, shorter set sparingly hairy. Styles < stamens, glabrous or hairy. Capsule not seen.

Acaulous herb with thick, fleshy contractile root below the main bulb and surrounding subsidiary small bulbils; outer scales of tunic brown, 7-11-nerved. Lvs 3-foliolate. Petioles usually < 30 cm long, glabrous or sparsely hairy; stipular wing long-ciliate. Lamina of leaflets equal, sessile, to 30 × 40 mm, broadly obcordate, with rather shallow sinus, 2-lobed, rounded, glabrous above, hairy or glabrous below, finely reticulate below, lacking calli. Infl. 7-26 cm long, an 8-15-flowered cyme, glabrous or hairy; pedicels very variable in length, glabrous or hairy. Bracts c. 3 mm long, ± ciliate, lacking calli. Sepals 4-6 mm long, lanceolate to elliptic, glabrous; calli 2, prominent. Petals 9-15 mm long, oblanceolate or oblong-obovate, whitish or very pale mauve-pink, glabrous. Stamens at 2 levels; filaments hirsute with spreading hairs above, dilated and glabrous below, the longer c. 4 mm long. Styles < to = lower stamen whorl, hirsute. Capsule not seen.
