Tiny flowers a few millimeters across that form an inflorescence at the center of four white, petal-like bracts 3-4 cm diameter.
Foliage:
The leaves are oppositely arranged on the stem, but are clustered with six leaves that often seem to be in a whorl because the internodes are compressed.
Stem:
The vertically produced above ground stems are slender and unbranched.
Fruit:
Bright red berries form in a single tight cluster above the foliage.
