Rose Twisted-stalk

Rose Twisted-stalk

Rose Twisted-stalk Streptopus roseus has a creeping underground stem which puts up hairy shoots with unstalked parallel-veined leaves. The above-ground stems have a zigzag appearance which gives the plant its name. The flowers, made up of three sepals and three petals, are pink bells that hang downwards and the fruits are ruby-red berries. [CH] {GW}
