Narrow, lance-shaped leaves that curiously twist 180 degrees at the base so the leaf's underside faces upward; showy, funnel-shaped, six-parted flowers are boldly streaked or spotted, especially on the inner petals.
The twisted, upside-down leaf — its true underside facing the sun — is a quirky, reliable field mark unique enough to place the plant in this family on sight.
