| Diphylleia grayi is a
perennial inhabiting mountain forest in hilly districts, the stem,
30-60cm in height, setting two alternate leaves on the top, one
large, positioned slightly lower than the other small. The big one
sizes up 20-30cm in length, 30-35cm in width, in the kidney shape,
deeply cleft in two, with a long petiole, while the small one has no
petiole, cleft deeply also in the same way. The stem apex emerges a
cymose inflorescence with small white flowers, each approximately
2cm across. The white petals become transparent when wet, sometimes
associated with glass-made flowers. Bloom tie: May-July. |
