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