Aerial stems short to inconspicuous, unbranched; internodes inconspicuous to weakly elongate, vinaceous, lanate, hairs light brown to hyaline; flagelliform-shoots (ramets) present. Leaves spirally-alternate, forming a rosette at the apex of the aerial stems, sessile to subpetiolate; sheaths 0.7-1.3 cm long, vinaceous, with or without green spots, lanate, hairs light brown to rusty; subpetiole 1-2.7 cm long to inconspicuous, D-shaped in cross section, canaliculate, dark green to vinaceous, hispid, hairs light brown to hyaline; blade (4.5-4.8-)10-15.8 x (3.1-3.5-)4.4-7.2 cm, elliptic to obovate, rarely lanceolate, succulent, adaxially dark green, with a thin white stripe along the midvein, hispid, hairs light brown to hyaline, abaxially vinaceous to atro-vinaceous, lanate, hairs light brown, base slightly subcordate to cuneate, vinaceous, margins vinaceous, slightly revolute, apex acute, straight to curved downwards; midvein adaxially inconspicuous, slightly impressed, abaxially prominent, obtuse, secondary veins 3-5, inconspicuous in both faces, becoming more evident when dry. Synflorescence composed of a solitary main florescence with 1-2 coflorescences. Main florescence (inflorescence) reduced to a solitary pedunculate cincinnus, terminal or apparently so; basal bract 11.3-13.4 x 4.8-7.8 mm, triangular, slightly cymbiform, amplexicaulous, vinaceous, hispid, hairs rusty, opaque at the base and margins; inflorescence main axis 2.1-4.4 cm long, vinaceous, densely hispid, hairs rusty to brown; cincinni bract 3.3-6 x 2.2-4.6 mm, triangular, amplexicaulous, vinaceous, hispid, hairs rusty; cincinni (3-)5-8-flowered, peduncles 0.8-1.6 cm long, vinaceous, densely hispid, hairs rusty to brown, reflexed in fruit; bracteoles 2.9-4.4 x 2.8-3.2 mm, broadly ovate to depressed ovate, sessile, revolute, vinaceous to pinkish purple, sparsely hispid, hairs rusty, apex rounded to truncate. Flowers bisexual, actinomorphic, 2.3-2.8 cm diameter, pedicellate; pedicel 1-7.2 mm long, white to light green, hispid, hairs rusty, reflexed and slightly elongate in fruit; floral buds 0.7-1.6 x 0.3-0.6 cm, ellipsoid to narrowly obovoid, light green, apex obtuse; sepals 0.9-1.1 x 0.4-0.7 cm, narrowly ovate to elliptic, membranous, white to light green on both sides, externally sparsely hispid, hairs hyaline to rusty, rusty in fruit, internally glabrous, margin hyaline, apex obtuse, slightly purple; petals 1.3-1.6 x 1-1.2 cm, broadly ovate to broadly elliptic, bluish lilac to bluish purple, proximal third white, base cuneate, margin entire, apex obtuse to rounded, sometimes irregularly lacerated; stamens equal, filaments 5-7.1 mm long, straight, white, terminal third purple to bluish purple, anthers 1.5-2.2 x 1.3-2 mm, anther sacs purple to bluish purple, connectives quadrangular, purple; ovary 1.5-2 x 1.5-2 mm, globose, white, densely hispid, hairs hyaline, style 4.1-6.3 mm long, straight, white, terminal third purple to bluish purple; stigma annular-truncate, purple to bluish purple, papillate. Capsules 1-1.3 x 0.7-0.9 cm, subglobose to broadly oblongoid in outline, smooth, green, when mature light brown, hispid, hairs rusty. Seeds 3.3-5.2 x 2.4-2.9 mm, obconic to ellipsoid, medium to dark brown, testa rugose; hilum approximately 1/2 the length of the seed; embryotega semilateral; aril cream-colored, slightly translucent, thick.

Etymology

Etymology. The epithet means "white-striped", making reference to the thin and always present, white to silver stripe along the midvein of this species' leaves.
