Persicaria macrantha ssp. conspicua,
0.5-1m in height, is a perennial found at water's edges or wetlands.
Leaves, 7-13cm long, are alternate, lanceolate, and thick, with
glandular dots on the backsides. Inflorescences are slender, densely
packed with light, 5-6mm in diameter. P. conspicuum is dioecious: in
female flowers, the pistils are longer than the stamens, and vice
versa. Bloom time: August-October. |
