 -------------

Aristea ecklonii is recognised by the compressed and relatively broad, sharply 2-winged flowering stem, rust-coloured floral bracts and sometimes spathes, and the relatively long, cylindric ovary (up to 8 mm long). The species is unmistakable in fruit as the elongated capsules are up to 20 mm long and deeply 3-lobed, showing the outline of the seeds.
