Chrysosplenium album,
a perennial herb that extends runners after
flowering, grows in the wet portions of forests along valleys, where
its rosettes bloom. The whole has vellus hairs on it. Leaves are
opposite, each fan-shaped, measuring less than 1cm in length, with
petioles ranging from 0.3 to 3cm in length, and the tops feature
some semicircular serrations on the margins. Flowers lack petals;
calyx lobes,4 in number, are white, the tips pointed, standing
erect, turning green after flowering, and the anthers are dark red.
Bloom time: April-May. |
