Tylophora aristolochioides
is a perennial vine found in hill or mountain forests. Stems are
slender and extend long, with few hairs. Nearly hairless leaves with
1-3cm long petioles are of opposite phyllotaxis, in the shape of a
triangular, long lanceolate, with tips longly pointed and bases
cordate. Inflorescences having emerged from axils put dark purple
flowers in them; corollas, 4-6mm in diameter, deeply cut themselves
into five, with white floccus on the lobes. Bloom time:
June-September. |
