Description
This species thrives in deeply shaded areas. The shiny, dark green leaves are 4.5–10 cm (1.8–3.9 in) x 1–5 cm (0.39–1.97 in) in size and are conspicuously veined. The white flowers are produced from August to October. They are 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) long, and become divaricate near the anther. The fruit is elongated and is 12.5–2 cm (4.92–0.79 in) long. After the fruit matures, numerous 5 mm (0.20 in) long winged seeds are released.[2]
