Mercurialis leiocarpa is a dioecious perennial herb of
30-40cm in height, inhabiting forests in mountainous regions. Leaves
are of opposite phyllotaxis, with stipules and petioles; blades are
6-12cm long, in a long-oblong-like lanceolate form, with serrations
on margins. Inflorescences emerge from the axils on branch tops and
bear small flowers in a racemose arrangement. In male flowers, the
calyces are cleft into three parts and have many stamens. In
contrast, female flowers have two rod-like structures and one
pistil. Bloom time: March-April. |
