| Paederia scandens is a
perennial vine in sunny thickets, riverbanks, or grasslands. Stems
extend long to twine clockwise (when looked at above) around the
other plants. Leaves are opposite, 4-10cm long, 1-7cm wide, in an
oblong or long ovate, with tips pointed, petiole bases with
triangular ramentums formed by right-and-left-bonding stipules.
Axils emerge in short cymes and sparsely set gray-white flowers.
Corollas are about 1cm long, bell-shaped, with tips shallowly cleft
in five and open flat; throats and insides are re-purple. Drupes,
spherical, about 5mm in diameter, mature in yellow-brown. Bloom
time: August-September. |
