Pourthiaea villosa var. leavis:
It is a deciduous small tree or tree that occurs in sunny forest
edges or the like, growing to 5-7m in height. Long branches
alternate leaves, and brachyblasts set them in a way in whorls;
blades are 4-7cm long, broadly obovate to narrowly obovate, with a
papery texture and margins with fine, sharp serrations. Both
surfaces are nearly hairless, but occasionally feature some white
vellus hairs on the midribs. Compound umbels on the brachyblasts
bear 10-20 white flowers, approximately 1 cm in diameter; the petals
are almost circular, with sparse white vellus hairs at their bases.
Bloom time: April-June. |
