Perennial herbaceous. Root fusiform to cylindrical, vertical, fleshy, up to 29 × 3 cm. Stems dichotomously branched, slender, 60–130 cm; branches up to 60 cm long, virgate, arranged in a spreading corymb, finely striate. Basal leaves numerous, glaucescent; lamina up to 6 × 6 cm, herbaceous , 3-ternate; ultimate segments filiform, 4–7 × 0.5 mm, acute; petiole stick and flexuous, up to 10 cm long, broadening to a sheath at base. Upper stem leaves much reduced to semiamplexicaul lanceolate sheaths, 0.7 × 0.3–0.4 cm, mucronate to cuspidate, membranous margins, with a glaucous bloom. Umbels 2–4 rayed; rays 4–10 cm, subequal; umbellules 1–1.5 cm diameter, raylets 12–26, glabrous to papillose, up to 3 mm in fruiting. Bracts 0–1, very similar to upper stem leaves, lanceolate-cuspidate, 4–7 × 2–3 mm, membranaceous margin, 8–10 nerved; bracteoles equal or slightly shorter than flowers, 8–9, mm, narrowly elliptic-cuspidate 4–5 × 1–1.5 mm, with membranaceous margin, green, 1 nerved. Calyx teeth minute. Petals broadly elliptic or ovate, 1.8 × 0.7–0.8 mm, tip inflexed, pale whitish yellow and greenish at bottom suffused red at apex, glabrous, dorsal ribs scabrous. Fruits easily separated into homomorphic mericarps, ovoid oblong, 5–6.5 × 2–4 mm, symmetrical with same primary and secondary ribs; mericarps straw colored with 9 gyrose-moniliform wings; ribs width 0.5–0.7 mm, surface reticulate-alveolate, cuticle striate. Exocarp of large cells; mesocarp in ribs consists of parenchymatous cells; vascular bundles compact broad, in the base of each primary rib; commissural vittae 2, dorsal vittae 4, vittae running unbranched the full length of the fruit; endosperm with broad groove at commissural side; stylopodium undulate at the margin. Styles divaricate, 2–3 mm.
