Plants 300-1000 mm high, forming large, loose tufts. Rhizome compact and corm-like, ± 20 mm diam. Stem consisting of 1 long basal internode, slightly flattened, elliptic in section, 2-4 mm diam. near base, striate when dry but without stomatiferous furrows, branching in upper 1/3, forming a hemispherical, ± laxly panicle. Foliage leaves 4 to 8 in a basal fan, ± 2/3 as long as flowering stem, linear, 3-7 mm wide, striate. Rhipidia several, solitary at branch tips, together forming a lax panicle, on branches 10-30 mm long subtended by leaf-like bract with unifacial blade, 20-50 mm long, immediately associated with next bract, internodes viscid; pedicels subglabrous; spathes with translucent membranous margins and brownish apices; outer ± 1/3 as long as inner, 4-7 mm long, inner 14-20 mm long. Flowers yellow; tepals free, elliptic, outer 10-16 x 4-6 mm, inner slightly smaller. Filaments 2-3 mm long; anthers ± 3 mm long. Ovary exserted, smooth; style 1-2 mm long, branches 3-4 mm long. Capsules broadly obovoid to subglobose, smooth, 6-10 mm long. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2020. Iridaceae of southern Africa. Strelitzia 42: 1-1159.

Rhizomatous perennial, 40-100 cm, stem branched above and sticky below nodes. Leaves linear. Flowers in solitary cymes loosely clustered near top of stem, yellow.

Distinguished by the hemispherical, paniculate inflorescence with sticky internodes and relatively small, yellow flowers. The basal internode of the stem is conspicuously elongated, with the inflorescence thus clearly borne at the tip. This is intermediate between the inflorescence type in Bobartia lilacina, in which the two or three lower internodes are subequally developed, and the remaining species in the genus, which have only the lowermost internode elongated and a congested inflorescence. The stem lacks stomatiferous furrows and is thus smooth when fresh but the presence of peripheral longitudinal sclerenchyma strands causes it to become slightly striate when dry.

Relatively common on the upper southern slopes of Mannetjiesberg, flowering mainly after fire. From: Goldblatt, P; Manning, JC. 2020. Iridaceae of southern Africa. Strelitzia 42: 1-1159. South African National Biodiversity Institute, Pretoria. [CC BY]
