Schizocodon soldanelloides var. magnus
is an evergreen perennial herb found on the floors of beech forests
in hilly districts. Rhizomes crawl on the ground and form bundles of
leaves at their rooted points. The leaves, with long petioles, are
circular, measuring 8-12cm in length and width, leathery, and
prominently glossy on their surfaces, with many sharp serrations
along their margins. Flower stalks appear from among the leaves and
set 3-10 light red to white flowers on the tips; corollas are
funnel-shaped, cleft in five, and the lobes' ends are finely cut
afresh. Bloom time: May-July. |
