Cymbararia murals f.alba, a white form of Cymbararia
murals, is an annual herb that grows wild on roadsides or
stonewalls. Stems, wire-like, crawl on the ground, branch, and
emerge adventitious roots from nodes, reaching 10-40cm long. With
long petioles, leaves are alternate, approximately 1cm across, in
the shape of a circular to oblate, and palmately shallowly cleft in
5-7, with tips convex. Axils bear single flowers with long
peduncles; corollas are white, 7-8mm long, and divide into two lips;
the upper ones cleft again in two and erect. The rear parts of the
corollas grow into spurs and protrude. Bloom time: March-August. |
