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 way. 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's veins. Many young
leaves contain white vertical lines in the center, and 1-5
green-white tubular flowers droop from axils. The flowers measure
about 2cm long, with tip-parts dark green. Sap fruit, 0.7-1cm
across, matures in black-purple. Bloom time: May-June. |
