is a perennial herb inhabiting grasslands or tussocks closed to
seashores, stems growing erect to30-80cm in height; however, the

phyllotaxis, in the shape of an oblong, 3-10cm in length, 3-7cm in
width, and having short hairs on veins on both sides. Leaf axils on
upperparts set many light yellow-white approximately 8mm-in-diameter

size. Follicles are broad oblong, 4-6cm. Bloom time: May-July. |
