Ainsliaea apiculata is
a small perennial herb inhabiting the shade of a tree in mountainous
regions, with stems growing to 10-20cm in height. The leaves, 5-11,
alternately put themselves together at the stem's lower portions, in
a cordate shape, with long petioles, 1-3cm long, generally in a
pentagonal shape or shallowly cleft in fives. Flower heads comprise
three florets, and corollas are white, often resulting in
cleistogamous flowers. Bloom time: September-October. |
