The leaf blades are oval-shaped, green on top and red underneath, with serrated margins. At the terminal ends of the stems are small flowers on long red pedicels. The flowers have multiple free white petals radiating out from yellow centres. At the ends of some stems are long red seed capsules. Near the base of the plant one seed capsule is depicted open, split and radiating out in to five parts. There are leaves and flowers depicted in a wash of colours.
