Alisma canaliculatum
is a perennial plant in shallow water
like paddies or ponds; its rhizomes are short, with many
fibrous roots. Radical leaves have 20-50cm-long petioles;
blades measure 5-17cm long, 3-7cm wide, in the shape of an
oval to oval-like oblong. Flower stalks grow to 0.5-1.2m in
height and grow in whorls of 3-4 branches, and the branches
do the same repeatedly. Small white flowers make themselves
bloom on those branch ends. The flowers, 7-8mm across, bloom
in the mornings and wither within the day. Bloom time: June-October. |
