Narrative
Garden plant to 1m tall. Leaf on mature plant is 4cm wide and 13cm long. Stem entirely covered with inflorescence. Grown in a greenhouse in 2011 and observed then to be unusual for the species since the bract and tepals are long and flexible, and the utricle does not split on the equator, as in the close-up images (David Brenner).
