Description

Tuberaria guttata is an annual plant that grows to 2–30 centimetres (1–12 in) tall. It has a rosette of basal leaves, each up to 3 cm (1.2 in) long and 1.5 cm (0.6 in) wide, but this rosette has normally withered by the time the plant is in flower. The stems bear 2–5 opposite pairs of leaves, and a few smaller leaves higher up, arranged alternately.
