Kirengeshoma palmata is
a perennial found in forests deep in mountainous regions, growing
0.8-1m in height, with 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, in a bell shape: the
petals arrange themselves spirally, and the ends are somewhat
pointed. Bloom time: July-September |
