Cryptotaenia japonica, a perennial herb 30-80cm tall,
occurs in damp places like forest- floors or edges; stems erect and
branch at upper parts. Leaves are of a ternate compound leaf; the
leaflets are oval, with pointed tips and margins with double
serrations. Branch sparsely emerge compound umbels with small white
flowers; as peduncles are long and short, the inflorescences do not
shape like an umbrella. Bloom time: April-May. |
