Pieris japonica
is an evergreen shrub to small tree that inhabits sunny locations in
mountainous regions, with stems growing to 1-8m in height and 5-10cm
in diameter. Leaves set themselves together at branch tips. The
blades are 3-10cm long, 1-2cm wide, in the shape of an oblanceolate
or long-oblong, with pointed tips, bases tapering toward petioles,
and sallow serrations on the upper half margins somewhat wavy. Axils
on branch tips produce panicles, which bring many white flowers and
blooms that face downward. Corollas measure 6-8mm in length, in a
pot shape, shallowly cleft into five. Bloom time: February-May. |
