The lance-shaped, hairless leafblades are ¾–10 inches long (2–25 cm) and 1/8–½ inch (4–14 mm) wide (Clayton et al., 2006). The inflorescence is indeterminate, open, spreading, with a simple axis and stalked flowers. It has 3–15 inflorescences, ⅓–3 inches (1–8 cm) in length, from a central axis. It has white flowers and ellipsoid seeds that are tan in color. It has fibrous roots that can grow to 2 ft deep.
