Buckleya lanceolata,
a small deciduous tree growing to 1-2.5 meters, is a
hemiparasite that hosts conifers, such as cryptomerias or firs. It
branches well, extending horizontally, with the tops somewhat
drooping and the young ones green. The simple leaves are of opposite
phyllotaxis, 3-7cm long, in a lanceolate shape, with tips extending
in a tail way, margins with entire or shallow serrations, and short
petioles. Dioecious: male flowers put themselves in cymes borne on
the upper parts of the branches; female ones singly come on the ends
of the branches. Male and female light green flowers measure 4mm in
diameter, with perianths cleft into four parts. Bloom time:
May-June. |
