Leibnitzia anandria
is a perennial herb inhabiting sunny grasslands in hilly or
mountainous regions, leaves being all together at bases in the way
of a rosette. Spring leaves are oval, with margins incised and dense
arachnoids on the backsides, and autumn ones measure 10-16cm in
length, 3-4cm in width, in the shape of an obovate-like long-oblong,
and pinnately cleft. There are two types of flower heads also.
Spring flowers measure 1.5cm in diameter and singly set themselves
on tips of 5-15cm-long peduncles. The flower heads arrange ligulate
flowers, the backsides of which tinge purple, around floral axes in
a row, and tubular flowers come in the center parts. Bloom time:
April-June, September-November. |
