The lowest leaves are broader than the others, narrowed at the base, blunt at the end and form a spreading tuft at the base of the plant, while the stalk less stem-leaves are pointed and lance shaped, growing in pairs opposite to one another at somewhat distant intervals on the stalk, which is crowned by flat tufts of rose-colored, star-like flowers, with five-cleft corollas. The whole herb is used in medicine.
