Stipules entire, persistent or deciduous, oblanceolate to subulate. Leaves alternate, spiral or distichous; petiolate or subsessile, presence of pulvinus; extrafloral nectaries absent or present, convex, sessile or stipitate, located between the pairs of leaflets or on the petiole; leaflets 1-many pairs, papyraceous to coriaceous, elliptic to oblong, lanceolate to obovate, apex acuminate, rounded to mucronate, base oblique.

These species share a small flat callus at the base of lip and subulate setae on the column.

Leaves subulate, stiff, sessile, with spines, entire or with 1-5 spinescent lobes on both sides in basal half.

Gynoecium glabrous, bicarpellate; ovary with both locules fertile; styles 2, long and very slender, subulate, terminating in minute apical stigmas, bent in bud.

Cerci of male long, strongly curved, pointed apically; cerci of female thin, distinctly curved, subulate. Subgenital plate of male short, not longer than cerci, with moderate apical notch, without styles; in female triangular.

Podetia 20-30 mm x 0.7-2 mm, brownish to green, simple or irregularly branching above the basal part, generally subulate, with closed axils.

Leaves odd pinnate, petioles 0.6-3 cm long; leaflets 5-9 opposite or irregularly arranged, cuneate obovate to narrowly oblanceolate, 0.5-2.5 cm long; stipules subulate, 2-6 mm long, semipersistent.

Leaves 35-40, densely arranged, coriaceous; sheaths broader than the blades, the older ones forming a globose base, 4-5.5 x 4-5 cm; blades sublinear, nearly flat near the base, canaliculate and obtusely carinate abaxially at middle, and subulate toward the apex, suberect to nearly erect, 10-12 cm long, ca.

Leaves alternate, rigid; sessile, clasping; blades linear, ovate, subulate to oblong, parallel veins in the sheathing portion and one prominent central vein in the blade, margin entire, revolute, glabrous above, pubescent beneath.
