Populations from Kamchatka and the Kuriles have an intermediate appearance between
subsp. frigida and subsp. sibirica. In addition, plants close to the type subspecies are found
in the southern part of the range of subsp. sibirica.

Stems 12–27 (–35) cm tall, usually slender. Basal leaves ±densely to subsparsely ciliate,
2.2–2.8 (–3.5) mm wide. Cauline leaves usually 2–3. Upper cauline leaves 4.0–8.5 cm long,
1.5–2.2 (–2.5) mm wide. Lower bract usually 1.7–4.3 (–5.5) cm long, shorter than or
overtopping inflorescence, often reddish. Inflorescence with pedunculate clusters; peduncles
mostly straight, some flexuose, usually at least one in a plant recurved, sometimes with
secondary branches, smooth. Clusters 5–9 (–18); subsessile clusters 1–2, ellipsoidal-ovoid to
ovoid, rarely hemispherical; flowers in pedunculate clusters 5–8 (–10); bractlets 1.5–1.8 mm
long, ciliate. Tepals pale straw-brown or brown; outer sepals ±equalling inner ones or often
up to 0.4–0.6 mm longer, 2.6–3.2 mm long, acuminate. Anthers 0.6–0.7 mm long, with
anther-filament length ratio 1.0–1.2; ovary 0.9–1.0 mm long; style 0.6–0.7 mm long; stigma
1.2–1.4 mm long. Capsules equalling perianth or shorter; capsule segments 1.9–2.2 mm long;
seeds ovoid, 0.8–0.9 (–1.0) mm long, 0.7 mm wide; appendage 0.2–0.3 mm long. 2n=24
