Corylopsis gotoana
is a deciduous shrub that grows 2-5 meters tall, inhabiting rocky
ground in mountainous regions, with gray-brown bark and new branches
of the same color. Leaves are alternate; blades measure 6-12cm long,
3-9cm wide, orbicular-ovate to circular, with bases heart-shaped,
shallow serrations with nifty tips on the margins, no hairs on
surfaces, and whitish backsides with sparse long hairs, particularly
on veins. Four to five, about 1cm-long yellow flowers bloom before
the leaves develop, in 3-4cm-long inflorescences, with stamens about
the same length as petals and anthers dark red. Bloom time:
March-April. |
