Euscaphis japonica,
a deciduous small or tree found in sunny, somewhat dry copse
edges, grows to 3-8m in height, with sparse branches. Leaves are
opposite, 10-30cm long, and of an imparipinnate compound leaf with
3-5 pairs of leaflets; the terminal leaflets are smaller than the
side ones, with awn-like serrations on the margins. The current
year's branches produce panicles that set many small yellow-green
flowers. Fruit (follicles) are semicircular, approximately 1cm long,
mature in red in September-November, split open, and contain one or
two black, glossy seeds about 5 mm across. Bloom time: May-June. |
