Lysimachia clethroides
is a perennial herb that inhabits sunny grasslands in hills. It
grows to 0.6-1m in height and propagates by rhizomes extending long.
Stems have sparse, short hairs with somewhat red bases. The leaves
are of alternate phyllotaxis with sharp tips, 6-13cm in length,
long-oblong or oblong-ovate. Stem tips give birth to 10-30cm long
racemes, setting many white flowers. Corollas measure approximately
1cm in diameter and are deeply cleft into five. Bloom time:
June-July. |
