Acalyph australis, a
30-50cm tall annual herb, occurs in fields or on roadsides. Leaves
are arranged alternately, 3-8cm long, oblong to broadly lanceolate,
with sharp serrations on the margins and somewhat pointed tips.
Inflorescences generate themselves at axils, with small male flowers
like racemes on the upper parts and female flowers embraced in
unique-shaped (knitted hat in shape) involucres at the bases. The
male flowers are small, with eight stamens surrounded by a
membranous perianth; when in bloom, the perianth splits into four.
The female flowers have a perianth that splits deeply into three,
with abundant pubescence. Ovaries are spherical, with numerous
projections and pubescence. Bloom time: August-October. |
