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 petioles 3-10cm long, are oblong-oval in
shape, 10-30cm long, and 5-15cm wide, and generally have many waves
on their surface. Flower stalks emerge from leaf axils and set
umbels with 2-3 red-purple flowers each. The corollas are
cylindrical in the lower parts and cleft into five lobes, opening
almost flat in the dishway, measuring 1.5cm in diameter. Bloom time:
June-August. |
