Alangium platanifolium var.
trilobum, a deciduous shrub found in mountainous regions, grows to
around three meters. Phyllotaxis is alternate; blades, with
5-10cm-long petioles, 7-20cm in length, cleft themselves into 3-5,
and the lobes become long, pointed, and sharp, with heart-shaped
bases with sparse vellus hairs and backsides with those hairs
somewhat denser. White flowers,2-3 in number, set themselves in
cymes that bear from axils; petals 6, 3-3.5cm long, linear,
profoundly curl back as if to make circles. Stamens are 12 in number
and about 3cm long. The yellow anthers are about the same size as
the filaments. Styles, one, are longer than the stamens. Bloom time:
June. |
