Leucanthemum linearis is
a 3-1 m 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 fallen off
during 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 the back surfaces. Flower heads:
3-6cm in diameter—lingulate flowers; white, involucres: 5-6mm long.
The involucral bracts arrange themselves in three rows, each about
the same length, and the exterior ones are linear-shaped. Bloom
time: September-November. |
