Verbascum thapsus: A
biennial herb originating on the Mediterranean Coast, it has been
naturalized in various parts of Japan, growing in dry riverbeds,
wastelands, or roadsides, with stems extending 1-2 meters in height.
Hairs on stems or leaves branch in a verticillate way, which
characterizes this species. Leaves on the lower parts are about 30cm
long and oblanceolate, and the upper part's leaves become smaller as
they go upward. Stem tips emerge 20-50cm long racemes and densely
set yellow flowers, and 2-2.5 cm-long corollas are cleft in five,
with stellate hairs outside. Bloom time: August-September. |
