Opithandra primuloide is
a perennial herb borne on wharves in valleys; leaves are thick,
emerging from the bases with 4-10cm-long petioles in the shape of a
broad ovate, 4-10cm in length, and the margins are serrated. Flower
stalks arise from leaf axils, bear umbels on them, and set
approximately ten red-purple flowers blooming sideways. The corollas
are funnel-shaped labiate, about 2cm in length. If this species once
dries up and wither, then it turns into something like a piece of
dried gray paper sticking onto the rocks. It can look like part of
the cliff, and observers may not notice. However, it revives with
the supply of abundant rainfall. Bloom time: May-June. |
