Lindernia antipoda var. verbenifolia is an annual that
grows in paths between paddies, wetlands, or the like. Stems branch
to become stocks. Without petioles, leaves are in an alternate
arrangement: lanceolate-shaped with round tips, with 5-8 sharp
serrations on the margins. Stem tips generate light red flowers;
lower lips are cleft in three, and the central lobes do not become
longer downward, unlike L. antipoda var. grandiflora. The flowers
look oppressed from the top side and bottom side. Petioles and
gynophores divaricate longer than lanceolated-shaped bracts. Bloom
time: August-October. |
