Crepidiastrum denticulata, a
biennial herb found in sunny locations in fields and mountains,
branches well and grows to 0.3-1.2m in height—stems, in many
individuals, tinge red-purple. Radical leaves have long petioles in
the shape of a spoon and are arranged in crowds, which remain
sustainable while in flower. Leaves are alternate, 5-10cm long and
2-5cm wide, oblong or obovate, with shallow serrations on the
margins and bases that protrude backward to embrace the stems.
Branch tips or axils on the upper parts are set about 1.5cm across
the yellow flower heads. Bloom time: August-November. |
