Persicaria sagittata var. sibirica: A
0.6-1m tall annual occurs on water's edges and stems crawling on the
ground. Leaves are oval-like lanceolate to long lanceolate-shaped,
with bases sagittate and expand as if embracing the stems. Ochreas
are 0.7-1cm-long tubular, with tips that look like they obliquely
cut themselves. Flowers, ten or more, with no peduncles, set
themselves gathering together on branch tips. Perianths cut
themselves into five; the upper parts are light red, and the lower
white. Bloom time: June-September. |
