Perennial herb, sometimes grown in the warmhouse: rhizome very short: st. erect, simple: lvs. grouped at base of st., elongate, rigidly veined: raceme terminal, simple, secund rachis abruptly bent at base, frequently horizontal: fls. grouped on erect short pedicels; perianth red, showy, about 1/2 in. across, persisting, segms. distinct, linear, erect, 1-nerved; stamens 6; ovary sessile, obtuse, 3-celled: caps. very short-stipitate, loculicidally dehiscent. One species, New Caledonia. X. Moorei, Brongn. & Gris.
