Convallaria majalis var. manshurica,
a perennial herb, occurs in grassland or high plains in mountainous
regions, with two radical leaves. The leaves are long-oblong,
10-18cm long, their backsides are tinge powdery-white, and their
bases are long sheaths. Flower stalks measure 20-35cm in height,
which arise from axils and are shorter than the leaves; in other
words, they are lower than the height of the leaves. Around 10 in
number, flowers set themselves in inflorescences in a racemose way.
The fragrant flowers are white, broad-bell-shaped, approximately 1cm
across; the tips are cleft into six lobes, and the lobes bend
backward. Sap fruit matures red. Bloom time: April-June. |
