Vernacular name in the Falklands * Diddle-dee." This plant covers miles. 
of country as heather does on English moorlands. The dried twigs make 
excellent fuel. The fruit, which is bitter and not unlike a cranberry, is 
considered to have tonic properties.

The leaves vary from 2 to 4, 3 being the usual number. This plant 
springs from a small tuber, and while one season it is very plentiful, not a 
single plant is to be found the next. The scented flowers, which appear in 
November and December, are white, spotted irregularly with purple, and 
vary considerably in size.
