Broussonetia kazinoki, a
deciduous shrub, inhabits forest edges or roadsides in low hills or
mountainous regions. Current new branches attach short hairs and
vanish later, however. Leaves are alternate; blades are 4cm long,
2-5cm wide, in the shape of a warped ovate, varying from no cuts to
3 notches, with margins somewhat acceptable. Flowers are dioecious;
axils in the new branch's bases bear male inflorescences, and
females put themselves in the axils on the upper parts. With female
inflorescences, 0.5mm-long-across, spherical, purple styles attract
attention. Bloom time: April-May. |
