Vincentoxicum japonicum is
a perennial herb inhabiting grasslands or tussocks close to
seashores, stems growing erect to 30-80 cm in height; however, the
stem tips can reach out like a climber. Leaves are of opposite
phyllotaxis, in the shape of an oblong, 3-10cm in length, 3-7cm in
width, and have short hairs on veins on both sides. Leaf axils on
the upper parts set many light yellow-white, approximately
8mm-in-diameter flowers. Coronas are erect, almost the exact height
as columns in size. Follicles are broadly oblong, 4-6cm. Bloom time:
May-July. |
