elongated rhizomes, and basal leaves, with expired stipules, dark green leaves with a
white stain in the shape of a horseshoe.
The type of soil where it grows best is silt with a loam texture and high content of humus.
The structure of the soil is very important because it gives aeration conditions to the roots
and improves their quantity.
