Blyxa echinosperma is
an annual aquatic herb that grows in shallow waters, such as ditches
and rice paddies. The stems are significantly short and produce many
fibrous roots. All leaves develop into rosettes; they are linear,
tapering to points, with serrations on their margins. Peduncles
appear at the axils and set single white flowers on their ends from
summer through autumn. Even if the flowers bloomed, the peduncles
continued to elongate further. Perianths are 6 in number, outer ones
three and inner three also; stamens 3; the pistils are cleft in
three. This species is significantly rare across the country. Bloom
time: August-October. |
