| Polygonum conspicuum,
0.5-1m in height, is a perennial found at water's edges or wetlands.
Leaves, 7-13cm in length, are alternate, lanceolate, and thick, having glandular dots on the backsides. Inflorescences are
slender, densely attaching light flowers of 5-6mm in diameter. P.
conspicuum is dioecious: in female flowers, the pistils are
longer than the stamens, and vice versa. Bloom time: August-October. |
