| Its body lies on the ground and only a 10-20 cm long footstalk stands ending in an inflorescence. |
| Also, plant herbivory is an unlikely explanation for the decline in inflorescence number because plants were caged during this study. |

| Seeds at different developmental stages coexist at the same time on the plant, and even in a single inflorescence. |
| In its definitely corymbose inflorescence it apparently differs from both of these. |
