Fatoua villosa: An annual herb 30-60cm tall that grows
on roadsides, fields, or wastelands, with stems and leaves with fine
hairs. Stems occasionally turn dark purple, and leaves are
alternate, 3-8cm long and 2-5cm wide, ovate, with pointed tips and
obtuse serrations along their margins. Male flowers and female ones
set themselves mingling together at the axils. The fruit (achene)
envelops itself in perianths, and the lower half expands and becomes
liquid; thus, the acquired turgor pressure causes the seeds to
detach. Bloom time: September-October. |
