Description
This species thrives in deeply shaded areas. The shiny, dark green leaves are 4.5–10 cm (1.8–3.9 in) x 1–5 cm (0.39–1.97 in) in size and are conspicuously veined. The white flowers are produced from August to October. They are 15–20 mm (0.59–0.79 in) long, and become divaricate near the anther. The fruit is elongated and is 12.5–2 cm (4.92–0.79 in) long. After the fruit matures, numerous 5 mm (0.20 in) long winged seeds are released.[2]
gollark: Wrong.
gollark: Your incorrect use of prefixes means you are 1 "tebicringe" (2^40).
gollark: Those are metric (decimal) prefixes, actually? The binary prefixes are different.
gollark: Just fill up all the land area of France with nuclear power plants and import electricity from there.
gollark: It isn't as if renewable energy sources or fossil fuels don't produce waste. Solar stuff has to be produced too, using weird chemical processes.
