Miricacalia makineana is a perennial herb inhabiting damp
portions in deep mountainous regions, the stems growing to 0.6-1.2m
in height, and the whole is shrunk-hairy. Leaves on the branches, 2
or 3 in number, are in an alternate arrangement, and ones on lower
parts have long petioles on which have orbicular, 25-33cm-in-width,
palmately cleft leaves. Flower heads emerge in alternate
arrangements from bract axils. Involucres are oblong-like tubular.
Bloom time: July-September. |
