Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a steam turbine and a seal member between stationary components of the steam turbine. SOLUTION: The seal member is annular, with a cross-section having an elongated seal member and bulbous ends that are adapted to be inserted into grooves in the stationary components to form point seals between the bulbous ends and axial faces of the grooves. The bulbous ends are designed to rotate with respect to the axial faces of the annular grooves and the elongated member is designed to flex to maintain the point seals in response to a realignment of the components.
