All members of the genus Eucrosia grow from bulbs and have stalked (petiolate) leaves with wide blades (laminae). The zygomorphic flowers are produced in an umbel. The stamens have prominent long filaments.[1]
E. tubiflora, which was scientifically named in 1985, is known only from the type collection in the Marañón basin, an area which has not been explored recently. Like other species of dry habitats, it produces leaves and flowers seasonally and therefore may go unnoticed.[2]
