Botanic information
Leaf: The mid-green ovate leaves may be pubescent with obvious venation on the upper surface and the leaves have mild pineapple-like scent when crushed. The apex is acute and the petiole is short.

Flower: The 2-lipped tubulate flowers have a flat lower lip and hood-like upper lip. The inside is pubescent and the calyx is also 2-lipped. The flowers are arranged in terminally panicle or axillary whorls and appear from late winter to early spring.

Fruit: It produces viable seed via a nutlet that develops inside the calyx. The seeds are viable but the plant may be reproduced vegetatively.
