Scutellaria amabilis, a
perennial of 10-25cm in height, inhabits forests in hilly districts.
Stems stand upright, with a square cross-section, and their ridges
have fine, upright, short hairs almost invisible to the naked eye.
Rhizomes are thin and sharp, yet they do not crawl. Leaves are of
opposite phyllotaxis; blades are broad ovate- to egg-heart-shaped,
1-2cm long, 0.8-2cm wide, with tips obtuse, bases shallowly cordate,
and coarse serrations on margins. The upper and backside surfaces
both have fine, short hairs. Inflorescences are set somewhat
sparsely, with labiate flowers in them. Corollas are blue-purple,
2-2.5cm long, and bend at bases to stand erect. Bloom time:
May-June. |
