Carpesium divaricatum,
a 0.3-1.5 m tall perennial herb, grows in the shade of a tree. Dense
vellum hair stems branch well at the upper parts, and branches
emerge nearly sideways. Radical leaves have gone during flowering.
The lower part's leaves measure 7-20cm long, are oval or oval-like,
oblong, with uneven, shallow serrations on the margins, vellus hairs
on both surfaces, and glandular dots on the lower surfaces. The
mid-part's leaves are long and oblong-shaped, with pointed tips.
Flower heads are small, 6-8mm in diameter, with 2-4 whorled
lanceolate bracts at the bases and oval-shaped involucres. Bloom
time: June-October. |
