Limnophila aromatica: An annual that inhabits rice
fields or wetlands with a shiso (herb) flavor. Stems are tender and
round, occasionally branching to grow 15-20cm in height, with the
basal parts crawling somewhat sideways. Leaves are opposite,
occasionally in whorls of three, 1.5-3cm long and 3-7mm wide, soft,
with no hairs and glandular spots on the back surfaces. Flowers set
themselves on the upper part's axils, with 7-15mm-long peduncles and
small bractlets. Calyxes, 5-7cm long, are cut into five segments,
each lanceolate. Corollas are about 1cm long; stamens are 4, and two
are short. Bloom time: September-October. |
