Herb 30-60 cm tall; corm 1-1,2 cm Ø; leaves 3-6, the lower 2-3 inserted at or below ground level, linear, 1-3 mm wide; stem simple or branched; spike 4-8-flowered; bracts 0,7-1,2 cm long; flowers whitish to dull cream, grey or mauve, flushed with grey-blue on the dorsal tepal; tube 0,8-1,2 cm long; tepals unequal, long-attenuate, the upper 3 narrowed into claws beneath and the cusps often twisted; in profile the flower is windowed (gaping between bases of dorsal and upper lateral tepals, hence permeabilis; in profile one can see through the flower, a character shared with G. fenestratus and G. unguiculatus). The subspecies is distinctive in its linear leaves, small intensely fragrant pale flowers, long-apiculate tepals with dark median streaks. |
