vellus hairs on. Leaves are opposite, each fan-shaped, less than 1cm
long, with 0.3-3cm petioles, and the tops have some semicircular
serrations on the margins. Flowers lack petals; calyx lobes,4 in
number, are white, the tips pointed, standing erect, turning green
after flower, and anthers are dark red. Bloom time: April-May. |
