Edgeworthia chrysantha,
a deciduous shrub that can grow as tall as two meters, inhabits
forests, branching well to form hemispherical tree shapes. New
branches emerge, three in number, yellow-brown, with adpressed
hairs. Leaves are alternate; blades are 5-20cm in length, 2-5cm in
width, long, oblong, or lanceolate, tips acute, margins entire.
Petioles measure 5-10mm in size. In the capitulum on branch tips,
30-50 small flowers bloom before leaves develop. The flowers are
bisexual and petal-less; the calyxes are prominent. Calyx tubes
measure 8-15mm long and have a tip cleft into four. Inside, the
sepals are vivid yellow; outside, they have dense, silky hairs.
Bloom time: March-April. |
