Astilbe odontophylla, a 0.4-1m tall perennial with a
compound leaf made of three leaflets, occurs in forests in
mountainous regions. Veins in a booklet look like they are running
parallel to one another. Still, it is impossible to say it is the
case, as they are partially a bit destroyed, which is one thing that
makes it straightforward to distinguish it from seemingly the same
plant in another family, Aruncus_dioicus_var._kamtschaticus, whose
veins run parallel. Bloom time: June-July. |
