Kirengeshoma palmata is a perennial found in forests deep in
mountainous regions. It grows 0.8-1m in height and has leaves of
opposite phyllotaxis, in a palmately cleft concentric shape 10-20cm
in both length and width. The lobes are triangular and have
serrations on the margins. The stem tops bear panicles with yellow
flowers at the tips of about 4cm long peduncles. The flowers are
5-petaled, bell-shaped: the petals arrange themselves spirally, and
the ends are somewhat sharp. Bloom time: July-September. |
