Phyllaries 22–26 in 3–5 series, yellowish tan, ovate to lanceolate, 2.5–7 × 0.6–1.5 mm, unequal, mostly chartaceous, midnerves evident, sometimes with 1–2, collateral nerves, ± thickened, raised, often expanded distally, subapical resin ducts darker, narrow and only slightly thickened, (margins membranous, erose-ciliate) apices erect, acute to acuminate or cuspidate, abaxial faces glabrous or sparsely hairy.
