Caryopteris divaricata is
a perennial herb occurring on forest edges or wasteland edges in
mountainous regions. As the flowering time approaches, it gives off
a unique odor. With a cross-section square, the stem stands erect
branches well at the upper parts and reach approximately one meter
high. The leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis, each broad-oval shaped
with a 1 to 4-cm long petiole, the tip sharply pointed, the base
circular or shallowly heart-shaped, and the blade-margin is
serrated. The leaf axil delivers a cyme that sparsely sets
blue-purple flowers in it. The corolla is cylindrical; the end cuts
in 5; the lower lobe curves back, and the pistils, 3-3.5cm long,
angle facing downwards and pop outside the flower along with the
flower's style. Bloom time: August-September. |
