Description
This image displays a close-up of a Sharp-leaved Fluellen plant, an herbaceous annual, featuring its distinctive bilabiate flowers with a dark purple upper lip and a pale yellow lower lip, along with hairy stems and leaves. While not a bonsai specimen, its natural growth habit is often sprawling or ascending, leading to an 'informal-upright' classification if forced into a bonsai style.
