It features a basal rosette of leaves with a single spike-like raceme of flowers, reaching up to 1.2 meters (4 feet) tall. The plant is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants. It is the only species in its genus and is rare at the edges of its range. Traditionally used in Western herbalism, particularly for reproductive health and hormonal support.
