Swertia bimaculata
is a biennial plant that inhabits the water's edges or fringes in
mountainous regions, with stems growing to 60-90cm in height.
Radical leaves are large-sized, in the shape of a long oval, but
fall when in bloom. On-stem leaves are ovate or lanceolate, 5-12cm
long, tips pointed, bases cuneate, with no serrations on margins,
and three prominent veins on the surfaces. Stem apexes branch and
set white flowers; corollas measure approximately 2cm in diameter,
with black-purple dots and two yellow-green nectaries on each piece.
Bloom time: September-October. |
