The plant in the picture,
Chrysosplenium flagelliferum,
inhabits water edges or rocks in a clear stream, deep in the
mountains, where the spray falls; part of the plant usually receives
the shower. This species extends runners in all directions after the
flowers end to produce new growths at the ends. Flower stalks to
measure 5-15cm in height. On-stem leaves, having rounded serrations
on the margins, exhibit alternate phyllotaxis. Flowers: sepals are
light yellow-green and open flat; anthers are yellow. Bloom time
April-May. |
