Polygonatum falcatum
is a 50-80cm perennial herb growing in forests, fields, or
mountains. Stems are round without ridges or short internodes, and
the upper part curves in a bow shape. Leaves are narrow and long,
8-15cm long, 1-2.5cm wide, in the shape of a lanceolate to narrow-lanceolate,
with some granular processes on the backside of the veins. Many
young leaves contain white vertical lines in the center, and 1-5
green-white tubular flowers droop from the axils. The flowers
measure approximately 2cm long, with dark green tips. Sap fruit,
0.7-1cm across, matures in black-purple. Bloom time: May-June. |
