| Potentilla hebiichigo,
a perennial herb, occurs in paths between paddies or somewhat damp
places. Stems crawl on the ground and take roots at nodes to make
new growth. Leaves are yellow-green, comprising three leaflets
2-3.5cm in length. Flowers come on pedicles emerging from axils and
put single yellow flowers on them. Flowers measure 1.2-1.5cm in
diameter; accessory calyx lobes are more significant than sepals,
cleft in three, with long hairs. The fruit is 0.8-1cm in length; the
receptacles are light red, with wrinkles like achenes. Bloom time:
April-June. |
