Description

The sarcocapnos enneaphylla is a more or less creeping perennial plant. It has a woody base and flexible caespitose stems. The leaves are long-stalked and compound, with rounded oval segments -- almost heart-shaped -- with a pointed apex. Its flowers are white or yellowish, and purple at the end. The outer petals are much longer and divided into two lobes. The upper petal is provided with a short spur inflated at the apex. The ovaries have two ovules. The fruit is elongated and compressed. The plant flowers from winter to summer.[2]
