Corn Snapdragon is a native of disturbed ground, with
dark green and shiny leaves. Leaves are stalkless, lower
opposite, upper alternate, narrowly oblong to elliptic-lanceolate, 3-5
cm long. The pink flowers resemble a miniature Snapdragon
and are followed by a hairy green fruit which is said to resemble a
weasel's snout. The flowers are normally pink, but occasionally white
ones also appear. The subspecies found in India has flowers with tubes
distinctly swollen. The subspecies found in Europe has flowers with narrower
flower-tube. Corn Snapdragon is found from Africa to India.
