Arabis hirsuta, 30-80cm in diameter,
grows in grasslands or forest edges in fields and mountains, with
stems having stellate and monotrichous hairs. Radical leaves are
rosette-like, and on-stem ones embrace the branches; both have
undulate serrations on the margins. Stem apexes give racemes with
white flowers. Fruit (silique), 2-6cm in length, set themselves
parallel to gynophores (called peduncles when flowering). Bloom
time: May-July. |
