Conandron ramondioides
is a perennial herb inhabiting semi-shady cliffs where water exudes
all the time on there. It sends out a few significant leaves from
its short rhizome. The leaves with 3-10cm long petioles are in the
oblong-like oval shape, 10-30cm in length, 5-15cm in width, and
generally with many waves on the surface. Flower stalks emerge from
leaf axils and set umbels with 2-3 red-purple flowers each. The
corollas, the lower parts cylindrical, and the uppers cleft in five
and open almost flat in the dish way, measuring 1.5cm in diameter.
Bloom time: June-August. |
