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 papery texture and margins
with fine sharp serrations. Both surfaces are next to hairless, but
occasionally with some white vellus hairs on midribs. Compound
umbels on the brachyblasts set 10-20 about 1cm-in-diameter white
flowers; petals are almost circular, with sparse white vellus hairs
inside bases. Bloom time: April-June. |
