The leaves are about 3/4" long, slender, have a crease down the middle and
are in sets of 4 one each north, south, east, and west on the lower leaves.
Above where the flowers are the leaves are alternating as they go up the stem
- south, east, north, west with a flower bud at the base of each leaf. The
flowers look like a snapdragon with a tube on the back. The sepal has 5
parts.  Thanks for your help.
