| Identification | This species is somewhat similar to the native N. bivalve. However, this exotic has wider leaves (larger than 4 mm wide vs. less than that in N. bivalve), has the tepals connate for part of their length instead of separated to the base, and has many more flowers, giving a denser inflorescence. | |
