Nemosenecio nikoensis is a
perennial plant that occurs in damp locations in forests or along
their edges, growing to a height of 0.6-1m. Stems feel soft, stand
erect, and branch at the upper parts with white hairs. Radical
leaves are hairy, and on-stem leaves are alternate, 5-14cm long,
2.5-8.5cm wide, oblong-shaped, and pinnately deeply cleft; the
lobes, 4-6 pairs, are with pointed tips. Stem tips produce many
yellow flowers in an umbel-like arrangement. Flower heads measure
about 1.2cm in diameter and comprise ligulate and tubular flowers.
Bloom time: June-August. |
