Coenoemersa limosa plants are 30–165 centimetres (12–65 in) tall. They have several leaves, up to 28 cm long at the base but gradually getting shorter with the upper leaves having a bract-like appearance. Flowering time is from June to August, with some plants getting up to 200 green to yellowish green flowers in a dense to lax spike. All petals including the lip have an entire margin. There is a thin and long (8–25 mm) nectar spur.
