Abelia serrata, a
shrub with gray-white to gray-brown bark, branches well to grow
thick, reaching around 2m in height, and inhabits sunny woods and
forests. Leaves are opposite; blades are ovate or
narrow-oblong-shaped, 2.5-5cm long, 1-2cm wide, with unevenly
serrated margins or none. There are dense, short, divaricate hairs
around the midrib's bases on the back surfaces. 1-7 flowers set
themselves on new branches - yellow-white or yellow, or occasionally
light-red-tinged. Corollas, 1-2cm long, are funnel-shaped and
abruptly expand out of the slender floral tubes with extended hair
inside. Bloom time: May-June. |
