Aneilema keisak, an
annual herb of 20-30cm in height, grows in wetlands, with stems
tinging red and the lower parts crawling on the ground. Leaves
measure 2-6cm long, in the shape of a narrow lanceolate, with bases
becoming sheath-like to embrace the stems. Axils generally bear
single 1.3 cm-diameter, light red flowers that wither within a day.
After the flower, the peduncles bend and hang, 0.8-1cm long, with
oblong capsules. Bloom time: August-October. |
