Botanic information
Leaf: The leathery textured sessile leaves form a curved base around the stem and have a long acuminate apex that is pointed and pungent.

Flower: The solitary pink to white tubulate flowers have sepals that are as long as the tube and have 5-spreading pointed lobes. The pedestal is short and the flowers are arranged densely in the leaf axils towards the end of the branchlets during spring.

Fruit: The small capsule is loculicidally dehiscent and contains numerous seeds, which are dispersed by water and gravity. The small seeds are viable but the plant is commonly reproduced vegetatively.
