Description
D'Aguilar National ParkIt was nearing the end of the flowering season, so a lot of the plants had seed capsuals on them. These very small plants only grow to be about 10cm high. However, they are deceptive, in that they can have an equally long stalk beneath the leaf that makes its way through the leaf litter down to the ground.
