Pseudopyxis depressa,
a 3-10cm tall perennial, inhabits a leafy shade of trees in a hilly
district. The stem attaches tip-pointed oval leaves with a petiole,
setting one-two flower at an axil or on a branch tip. The corolla
measures approximately 2.5cm in width, splitting into five; each
segment is in the shape of a long oval. Stamens, 5 in number,
position inside the upper part of the corolla tube and the filaments
significantly short. Bloom time: May-June. |
