Pseudolysimachion ogurare is
a perennial herb inhabiting cliff rocks in valleys, rooting deep in
narrow clefts, in mountainous regions in the east-to-middle-section
of Shimane Pref. Stems, cylindrical, extend erect or diagonally
upwards, approximately 50cm in height. Leaves, opposite in lower
parts and partly alternate in upper portions, are linear to linear
oblong-lanceolate, the tips pointed, and the bases taper toward
petioles. Branch tops bear racemes, 5-10cm long, with many
blue-purple flowers; the racemes bend diagonally upwards at
approximately halfway. The flowers are cleft in four. Stamens, two
in number, are prominent: Bloom time: August-September. |
