Croomia japonica
is a monocot perennial found on forest floors in mountainous
regions. Rhizomes crawl underground, shoot sprouts onto the ground,
and grow upwards to 30-60cm, curving slightly sideways halfway.
Leaves, 4-5 in number, are in the shape of an oval-like oblong and
are of alternate phyllotaxis at the stem tops. Leaf axils deliver
single light green flowers on the long peduncles' terminals, which
bloom facing the ground surface. The perianths are four in all, each
the same size. Anthers: orange-colored. Bloom time: April-May. |
