Zabelia integrifolia,
a deciduous shrub with gray-brown bark, inhabits limestone or
serpentinite areas, branching well to grow thick to approximately 2m
in height. Leaves are of opposite phyllotaxis, 1-3cm long, oval to
lanceolate-like oblong, with tips pointed, bases cuneate, margins
entire, and coarse hairs on veins on both sides and margins.
Petioles are 4-7mm long, and the pairs' grounds swell to merge. New
branch tips generally produce two light-red-tinged flowers with
peduncles 3-6 mm in length. Corollas are funnel-shaped, with floral
tubes measuring 1-1.5cm, and their tips are cleft into four parts,
opening flat. Bloom time: September-October. |
