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
produce adventitious roots from nodes, reaching 10-40cm long. With
long petioles, the leaves are alternate, approximately 1cm across,
circular to oblong, and palmately shallowly cleft into 5-7 lobes
with convex tips. Axils bear single flowers with long peduncles;
corollas are white, 7-8mm long, and divide into two lips; the upper
ones are cleft again into two and erect. The rear parts of the
corollas grow into spurs and protrude. Bloom time: March-August. |
