Growing in clumps to as tall as 1.5m,
Deutzia gracilis,
a deciduous shrub, inhabits rocks in fields and mountains. Limestone
areas also allow it to grow. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis;
blades are 4-8cm in length, 1.5-3cm in width, in the shape of a
long-oblong-like oblong-ovate, with tips narrowly becoming pointed
and bases broadly cuneate to circular, also with fine serrations on
margins. Branch tips emerge as panicles that set many white flowers
facing somewhat downward; petals are 5 in number, 7-10mm long,
oblong to long-oblong, with no hairs. Bloom time: April-May. |
