Leafless Goglet Flower is twinning herb with tuberous roots. It looks
almost leafless as the leaves are minute, in opposite pairs, very sparsely
distributed in the bare stem. Leaves are small, fleshy and lance-shaped.
Flowers are borne in few-flowered umbels. Flowers are large, goglet shaped,
erect, beautifully variegated with yellow, green and purple. Mouth of the
tube is much wider than other parts of the flowers. The united petals are
light green in the lower half, dark green in the upper half.
