Description
This specimen of Gregg's tube tongue is a small herbaceous plant featuring vibrant green, ovate leaves arranged oppositely along a slender stem. A single, striking lavender-purple flower with white markings at its throat emerges from the upper leaf axils, indicating it is currently in bloom. The plant is growing naturally in a wild setting, not as a cultivated bonsai.
