Leucanthemum linearis is a 3-1m-in-height perennial that inhabits sunny wetlands, propagating
by extending rhizomes long sideways and generating sprouts at the
tips. Leaves on the lower parts have gone in flowering time. On-stem
leaves are petiole-less, slender, 4.5-9cm long, 2-3mm wide, and
generally cleft pinnately in 1-2 pairs, with margins curving toward
back surfaces. Flower heads; 3-6cm in diameter. Lingulate flowers;
white, involucres; 5-6mm long. The involucral bracts arrange in
three rows, each about the same length, and exterior ones are
linear-shaped. Bloom time: September-November. |
