Veratrum maackii var. parviflorum is
a perennial herb inhabiting moist grasslands, with some dead-leaf
fibers remaining on the bases of stems in a hemp palm way. The
branches measure 0.5-1m in height. Leaves are all together at the
feet, in a long oblong shape, each 20-30cm in length, and bases grow
to sheathes and embrace the stems. Panicles on the stem tops bear
approximately 1cm across light yellow-green flowers. Bloom time:
June-August. |
