Thesium chinense is
a 10-25cm tall hemiparasitic perennial that occurs in sunny
grasslands, characterized by a tinge of white/green throughout. The
stem comes in a bundle, featuring linear, 2-4 cm long, alternate
leaves. A flower lacking petals stands on a short stalk that emerges
from an axil. Each calyx lobe divides into 4 or 5 lobes at the tip.
Like a leaf, two vesicles of the same shape exist at the base, plus
one bract beneath them. Bloom time: April-June. |
