Phytolacca acinosa
is a large, perennial herb that grows up to 1m tall, with green
stems and leaves 10-20cm long, egg-shaped to oblong. Inflorescences
are erect and do not droop even during fruiting time. Flowers are
white, approximately 8mm long, and the fruit separates into eight
mericarps and matures to black-purple. This species bears some
resemblance to Phytolacca japonica. With
P. acinosa,
the anthers are pink, while
P. japonica
is white. Another clear difference lies in seed capsules; with P.
acinosa, they separate, while the other does not. Bloom time:
June-September. |
