Tylophora floribunda
is a perennial vine herb that inhabits
grasslands on hills or low mountains. Stems are slender and extend
long to twine around something. Leaves are in opposite arrangement,
in triangular-ovate shape, 3-6cm long and 1-3cm wide, with tips
pointed, bases shallowly cordate, and midribs with either hairs or
hairless. Inflorescences branch well to spread out, generally
shorter than the leaves at the peduncle bases. Dark purple flowers
measure 4-5mm in diameter; corolla's lobes have fine hairs on upper
surfaces; coronas are approximately half as long as gynostemium,
erect, with bases somewhat projected. Bloom time: August-October. |
