Fls 1-2 per stem, 25 mm wide, facing up; perianth segments ovate, spreading; corona short funnel-shaped, with mouth straight.
A description according to Sir Michael Foster published in the Gardner’s Chronicles, dated February1905, stated “A stout round scape 25 cm. (both leaves and scapes are probably somewhat “drawn up” by greenhouse cultivation) or less in height, bears one or two flowers save for the orange of the fairly abundant pollen, very like those of N. triandrus, except that the stamens are of equal length…”
