deciduous forests or edges in mountainous regions. Stems grow to
10-30cm in height, and leaves are opposite at lower parts and in
whorls of three at upper parts - blades are in the shape of a
lanceolate to broadly lanceolate, 2.5-10cm in length. Stem tops bear
single flower buds and bloom facing downwards; perianth lobes, with
many purple-brown dots, are long-oblong-shaped, 15-25cm in diameter,
bend at the nectary positions towards the inside, and the tips
pointed. Anthers are white. Bloom time: March-April.
