Spot-bound, sympodial semi-rosette hemicryptophyte 

 with a short, vertical mesocorme which dies away behind. 

 Adventitious roots are rather abundantly developed. 



According to Sylvén the seed germinates in spring. 

 "The elongated hypocotyl unites with the main root, scantily 

 branched throughout, into a peg-shaped food-storing organ 

 which becomes rather thick at an early period. In more 

 advanced young-plants adventitious roots, thickened by the 

 storage of reserve food-material, like the main root, some- 

 times appear to be developed from the hypocotyl, or from 

 the base of the epicotyl." Тн. Resvoll has studied the 

 whole development from seed to flowering plant : During the 

 first summer two small foliage-leaves expanded, the terminal 

 bud was protected by a few scale-leaves, and contained the 

 rudiments of the foliage-leaves of the following summer; the 

 plant passed the winter in this stage. The foliage-leaves fell 

 ofî late in autumn, and left leaf-scars. "After having passed
