It is often found in forest floors and along stream banks where it can access the nutrients it needs to grow. This variety is distinguished by its delicate leaves and smaller, less showy flowers compared to its more common relatives.

Its unique characteristics make it a fascinating subject for botanists and nature enthusiasts alike.
