Description
15 cm long heart-shaped leaves with long basal lobes, marked and clouded with two parallel regions of pale green around slightly red-tinged leaf veins. When bruised they smell faintly of wintergreen and aniseed.
The flowers are large, deep red-brown and darker brown-black in colour with a prominent ring of white, and they are produced with the leaves early in the spring from thin creeping rhizomes. China.
