Description
Tricoryne elatior is a rhizomatous perennial herb, with fibrous roots,{{Cite web|url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=gn&name=Tricoryne|title=Tricoryne (PlantNET - FloraOnline)|last=|first=|date=|website=plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-03-12}} It grows to a height of 10-40 cm but sometimes grows to 1 m.{{Cite web|url=http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Tricoryne~elatior|title=Tricoryne elatior (PlantNET - FloraOnline)|last=|first=|date=|website=plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=2020-03-12}} The leaves are linear, 5–10 cm by 1–3.5 mm wide, and usually glabrous. The flowering axis is terete, and has a smooth surface although sometimes there are scabrous hairs at the axis base. The umbels carry 2–10 flowers on pedicels which are about 1.5–6 mm long. The outer tepals are oblong, acute, three-veined, and 6–14 mm by 1.5–3 mm, while the inner tepals are elliptic, obtuse, three-veined, and 5–10 mm by 3–4 mm wide. The tepals twist spirally after flowering and later fall. There are six stamens which are attached to the base of the perianth. The filaments are 3–6 mm long with tufts of clavate hairs below the anthers (which are ovate, and 0.6–0.9 mm long). The mericarps are ellipsoidal, and 3–6 mm by 1.5–3.5 mm and slightly reticulate.
