Saussurea maximowiczii is
a perennial herb that inhabits damp places around marshes or
grasslands in hilly districts, with its stems standing 0.5-1.5m
tall. Radical leaves with long petioles are still alive during
flowering time, and on-stem leaves are of alternate phyllotaxis, in
the shape of a long oblong, 11-30cm in length, and are
pinnatipartite. Shoots bear corymbs in which many red-purple flowers
come; the flower heads measure approximately 1cm in diameter; the
involucres are tubular, 1-1.4cm long. Bloom time: September-October. |
