Epilobium pyrricholophum,
a perennial of 30-70cm in height, occurs in wetlands with
fine glandular hairs on stems. Leaves are opposite phyllotaxis,
2-6cm long, 0.5-3cm wide, oval to oval-like oblong, with bases often
embracing the branches. The stems and leaves generally turn red; the
axils are set about 1cm apart, and 4-petaled, red-purple flowers,
cleft in two, are produced, with calyxes bearing many glandular
hairs. Capsules are slender, 3-8cm long, and have apertures in 4
when becoming ripe. Bloom time: July-September. |
