Elliottia paniculata
is a deciduous shrub found on forest edges or in craggy places in
hilly districts, growing to 1-2m in height. Several leaves gather at
the branch tips. Blades measure 2-6cm long and 1-3cm wide, in an
oblong-ovate-like long oblong shape, with sharp angles, bases
cuneate, gradually becoming narrow to stream into peduncles, and
margins entire and somewhat wavy. Branch tips erect 5-10cm-long
panicles and set many pale red flowers in them; corollas cleft in 3;
the lobes are about 1cm long, 3mm wide, narrow, long oblong, and
bend backward. Stamens are 6, and pistils pop out straight from the
flowers. Bloom time: August-September. |
