Lysimachia x pilophora, a
natural hybrid between Lysimachia
clethroides and L.
fortunei,
grows in a damp location close to a wetland, extending rhizomes
sideways to propagate. Its form signals that the hybridizing took
place long before long slender leaves associated with L.
fortunei, while
the other's portions beneath the leaf bases tinge red, which
characterizes the nature of L.
clethroides.
Flowers, white, set themselves in racemes on stem tips. The curving
condition of the racemes is intermediate between the two. Bloom
time: June-August. |
