Conandron ramondioides is
a perennial herb inhabiting semi-shady cliffs where water always
exudes. It sends out a few significant leaves from its short
rhizome. The leaves with 3-10cm long petioles are 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. |
