with the lower part of the stems creeping on the ground. Leaves are
of alternate phyllotaxis, each 3-9cm long, in the shape of an oval
or long oval, and the end grows to a point in a tail-like way. Many
of the leaves have blackish staches on the surfaces. Racemes grow
slender and set many small light-red to red flowers on them. Ochreas
have long hairs on the verges. Bloom time: August-October. |
