Diphylleia grayi
is a perennial that inhabits mountain forests
in hilly districts. The stem, 30-60cm in height, bears two alternate
leaves at the top: one large and positioned slightly lower than the
other small. The significant one measures 20-30cm in length and
30-35cm in width, and has a kidney shape with a deep cleft on either
side, and a long petiole. In contrast, the small one lacks a petiole
and has a deep cleft in the same manner. The stem apex emerges as a
cymose inflorescence with small white flowers, each approximately
2cm across. The white petals become transparent when wet, a
characteristic often found in glass-made flowers. Bloom time:
May-July. |
