Description
This specimen, if cultivated as a bonsai, would represent a delicate, herbaceous plant with multiple slender, upright stems. It features small, four-petaled white flowers with a green center, characteristic of its natural form. Its short lifespan and non-woody nature would make it an extremely challenging subject for traditional bonsai training.
