| Ranunculus kazusensis
is a perennial herb inhabiting clear water marshes, ponds, streams,
etc., in mountainous regions. Stems, 1-2m in length, take roots at
nodes onto the waters' bottoms and sway downstream. Submerged leaves
are of alternate phyllotaxis, 2-3cm in height, each is tri- to
tetra-ternate, and the leaflets cleft in two afresh, and the
terminal lobes grow to thread-like - thus, the whole becomes
fan-shaped. Leaf axils emerge flower stalks, 1-2cm long, on the tip,
single 5-petaled 6-10mm-in-width white flowers bloom - the center
portions are yellow. Bloom time: Maybe throughout the year. |
