The Rose Twisted-Stalk grows about 30 to 60 cm tall and is very common after May along stream-banks, roads and in moist woods. It is identified by its pale, pink, bell-shaped flowers that have 6 re-curved points, which hang down from the axils under the stem. The leaves on the Rose Twisted-Stalk are usually on the stem with an alternating pattern and are egg-shaped, coming to a point, with a series of prominent veins running parallel to the leaf. In the late summer the flowers become bright red edible berries with a cucumber flavor, nicknamed “liver-berries”, which were once used as a herbal medicine.
