Vincentoxicum japonicum is
a perennial herb that inhabits grasslands or tussocks close to
seashores, with stems growing erect to 30-80 cm in height; however,
the stem tips can extend outward 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 the veins on both sides.
Leaf axils on the upper parts produce many light yellow-white
flowers, approximately 8 mm in diameter. Coronae are erect, almost
the same height as the columns. Follicles are broadly oblong, 4-6cm.
Bloom time: May-July. |
