Parasenecio farfaraefolia var. farfarifolia
is a perennial herb in the shade of a tree in mountain wetlands.
Stems grow to 50-140cm tall, with arachnoid hairs when young. Leaves
with long petioles are somewhat thin, triangular heart-shaped,
13-21cm wide, with sparse, coarse hairs on surfaces. Axils create
bulbils, and panicles set many white flower heads with 5-6 tubular
flowers. Involucres measure 9-10cm long, with involucral bracts five
in a row. Bloom time: August-October. |
