The pink flowers, hanging below the leaves on curved stems, provide an unmistakable identification for this Twisted Stalk. The leaves are stalkless and do not clasp the stem.

The small flowers are bell-shaped and do not spread at the tip. This is a somewhat common Twisted Stalk, found in low to middle elevation forests.
