Chrysosplenium kiotense f. xanthandrum,
a perennial herb, occurs in streamsides or
wetlands in valleys in hilly districts. Flower stalks grow to
approximately 10cm in height, with one or no pair of opposite,
oblong leaves about halfway, and with bracts, about half of which
are yellow, on the tops. Flowers are: calyx lobes tinge green and
anthers yellow, and the position of the anthers is lower than the
tips of the calyx lobes. After flowering, runners extend to form 2-3
pairs of leaves that grow adjacent to each other in a rosette
pattern, followed by winter. Bloom time: April-May. |
