Aristolochia debilis
is a perennial herb inhabiting river banks, fields, or
forest edges, with the whole hairless and tinging glaucous. Stems,
slender and robust, branch well to entangle in plants. Leaves are
alternate, 4-7cm in length, triangular-ovate, with heart-shaped
bases on either side projected sideways in an ear lobe way. Leaf
axils bear single saxophone-shaped-like flowers. The curve is loose
in calyx tubes, 2-4cm long; their tips are flat as if cut off and
bend backward. Bloom time: July-September. |
