Known for its distinctive arrowhead-shaped leaves and clusters of small red flowers, it adds a unique visual element to mountain landscapes. This species is often used as a food source by local wildlife and has been historically utilized by humans for medicinal purposes. Its resilience and adaptability make it an important indicator of ecological health in high-altitude ecosystems.
