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 the limbs. The inflorescence's satellites
extend long and thread-like, emerge from the spaches, and become
erect. Bloom time: May-August. |
