Description
It is a perennial herb with tuberous roots. The flowers are in cymes. The bracts and sepals are persistent (remaining to the maturity of fruit) but the bracts are deciduous. The pollen is polyrugate (meaning that the pollen has more than one furrow,). The seed capsule is up to 40 mm (2 in) long and 3 valved. The seeds are compressed and irregularly papillate (covered in papilla). It has an embryo that almost encircles the perisperm.
