deciduous shrub of 1-2m-in-height, grows in bundles; the leaves are
of opposite phyllotaxis, and each attaches stems with approximately
2.5mm-long petioles. The simple leaves are oval, 4-10cm long, 2-5cm
wide, tips pointed, and double-serrated margins. And veins sinking
in are significantly prominent. Single white flowers, 3-4cm in
diameter, bloom on the ends of lateral branches; petals, 4 in
number, each circular - the lower part is as if cut off. Each flower
results in achene with four glossy black seeds. Bloom time:
April-May. |
