Description

G. monoica flowers between October and November, and produces fruit from December until February.[3] The flowers are greenish,[4] and the fruit is barrel shaped and white in colour (although some varieties may have purple or red flecks).[3] The leaves have a rounded appearance and either a corrugated or spiky margin. [5] The species is visually similar to Gunnera strigosa, but with differences in the leaf shape and hair distribution. The fruits are small, only 2 millimetres in length, and red to reddish-yellow. It grows in moist, lowland forests and grasslands.[6] It is evergreen.[4]
