| Pinellia ternata is a
perennial herb occurring in fields, with one or two radical leaves
with three leaflets. The leaflets are 5-11cm in length, in the shape
of oblong to long-oblong with pointed tips. Halfway parts of
petioles and the leaflet bases produce bulbils; thus, propagation
occurs. Scapes, 20-40cm in length, taller than the leaves, make
spadixes enveloped by spathes. The spathes are 5-6cm long, with
dense short hairs inside limbs. Inflorescence's satellites extend
long in a thread way, go out of the spaches, and become erect. Bloom
time: May-August. |
