Neanotis hirsuta is an annual herb in the shade of a tree
in fields, mountains, or even on roadsides. Stems, soft, branch and
spread on the ground, grow 20-40cm long and emerge roots from nodes;
then, top portions often obliquely rise. Leaves are opposite, 2-6cm
long, 1-2cm wide, oval to oblong-ovate, and tender, with upper and
lower surfaces with white vellus hairs. Stem tips or axils set some
white flowers in clusters and calyxes with white vellus coats. Bloom
time: August-September. |
