Hydrocotyle ramiflora is a perennial herb found in
somewhat damp places on roadsides or grasslands in mountainous
districts. It forms colonies by runners crawling on the ground.
Leaves, with long petioles, measure 1.5-3cm long, in the shape of a
kidney-shaped orbicular, shallowly cleft in 7-9, with obtuse
irregular serrations on margins. Peduncles emerge from axils and set
around ten small light green-white flowers on the tips, gathering
together; the flowers are higher than the leaves. Bloom time:
June-October. |
