Ajuga makinoi is
a perennial herb growing under trees; the whole
plant is significantly hairy. In flowering time,
stems reach 5-20cm in height and fall to the ground,
rooting when flowering is over. Leaves are of
alternate phyllotaxis, in the shape of an
oblanceolate, with the tips obtuse and the margins
undulated. Flowers come at leaf axils; the corollas
are blue-purple to dark purple, approximately 1cm in
size, and the lower lips are cleft in three. Bloom
time: April-June. |
