Nemosenecio nikoensis is
a perennial that occurs in damp locations in forests or edges,
growing to 0.6-1m in height. Stems feel soft, stand erect, and
branch at 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 profoundly cleft; the lobes, 4-6 pairs,
are with pointed tips. Stem tips set many yellow flowers in an umbel
way. Flower heads measure about 1.2cm in diameter and comprise
ligulate and tubular flowers. Bloom time: June-August. |
