| Lindera umbellata is a
deciduous shrub with smooth gray-brown barks found in forests in
mountainous regions. Leaves are alternate, 5-10cm long, 1.5-3.5cm
wide, obovate-like long oblong, with sharp tips and bases cuneate,
and margins are entire. Leaf axils emerge umbels in which many small
yellow-green flowers bloom - simultaneously with the development of
the leaves; perianths are generally 6 in number, they are 3mm in
length in male flowers, and those in female flowers are somewhat
smaller. Bloom time: April. |
