Syneilesis palmata, a
perennial herb in mountain forests, has single radical leaves when
young. However, as enriched, it makes flower stalks grow to 0.5-1m
in height. Radical leaves, with long petioles, about
40cm-in-diameter, embrace the stems to become a shield-like shape.
On-stem leaves, 2-3 in number, attach the petioles in a shield-like
way and deeply cut palmately. Flower heads, 8-10mm in diameter, are
in panicles. Bloome time. July-October. |
