Codonopsis
lanceolata is a vine perennial found in the foot of mountains
or open fields; leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis, 3-10cm in
length, in the shape of a long oval, generally 3-4 gathering
together at tips of lateral branches, with back surfaces tinging
powdery white. Whitish-green flowers are borne at the tips of the
lateral branches and bloom downward. Corollas with purple-brown dots
are 2.5-3.5cm in diameter, wide bell-shaped, splitting in five on
end, and the lobes bending backward. Bloom time: August-October. |
