About 1 m. high, with red stems, red veins to leaves, and white flowers. 
This beautiful species was always found in boggy places in the forest, as 
the latter ran out on the open marsh. Though rather smaller in all 
parts, which is to be expected from the altitude, the above specimens agree 
perfectly with Schumann’s species.
