Mazus miquelii, a
perennial herb found in damp places like paths between paddies,
propagates by sending out runners. Leaves gather together at the
bases, 4-7cm in length, 1-1.5cm in width, in an obovate or oblong
shape. Those on the runners are small and in an opposite
arrangement. Flower stalks, 10-15cm in height, emerge among the
basal leaves and sparsely set light purple to red-purple flowers on
them. Corollas are lip-shaped, measuring 1.5-2cm in length; the
upper lips are cleft in 2, the lower lips in 3, and the calyxes are
in a campanulate shape and cranny in five. Bloom time: April-May. |
