Pinellia ternata is
a perennial herb in fields with one or two radical leaves and three
leaflets. The leaflets are 5-11cm long, in the shape of an oblong to
long-oblong with pointed tips. The halfway parts of the petioles and
the leaflet bases produce bulbils; thus, propagation occurs. Flower
stalks, 20-40cm long and 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. |
