Polygonatum inflatum, a perennial herb of 30-70cm in height,
inhabits forests in mountainous regions, with stems cylindrical at
lower parts and curves at upper legs in a bow way, with ridges on
them. Leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, blades are 7-15cm long,
7-8.5cm wide, long-oblong to broad-oval, with tips obtuse, bases
around, and margins entire. The leaves feel soft, and the backsides
tinge white, with short petioles. Axils droop peduncles, and 3-7
light yellow-green flowers set themselves together on the tips with
bracts; the bracts are membranous, 5-10mm in length, in a lanceolate
shape. Sap fruit, 10mm across, spherical, mature in black. Bloom
time: May-July. |
