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 are
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. |
