Unlike the other species in the same genus, Scutellaria
stringillosa,
a perennial plant 10-40cm tall, occurs in sandy soil on seashores or
near them, propagating itself by extending slender rhizomes. Stems
and leaves have pubescent hairs. Leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis,
1.5-3.5cm long and 1-1.5cm wide, in the shape of an oblong, with
rounded tips and obtuse serrations on the margins. Axils on the
upper parts set two of each blue-purple labiate flower to bloom
facing the same direction. Corollas, 2-2.2cm long, abruptly bend to
stand erect. Bloom time: June-September. |
