Lysimachia x pilophora,
a natural hybrid between Lysimachia clethroides and L. fortunei,
grows in a damp location near a wetland, extending its rhizomes
sideways to propagate. Its form signals that the hybridization
occurred long before, as evidenced by the long, slender leaves
characteristic of L. fortunei. Meanwhile, the other portions beneath
the leaf bases turn red, a characteristic of L. clethroides.
Flowers, white, set themselves in racemes on the stem tips. The
racemes are intermediate in curvature. Bloom time: June-August. |
