Ligularia dentata: A
perennial inhabiting damp grasslands or forest edges deep in the
mountains, it grows to 40-120cm in height, with approximately 30cm
across kidney-shaped orbicular radical leaves with long petioles and
distinctive serrations on the margins. The peduncle's bases of
on-stem leaves, of alternate phyllotaxis, broadly expand to embrace
the stems. The ends of flower stalks emerge about 8cm-in-diameter
corymbs with approximately ten yellow ligulate flowers. Bloom time:
July-August. |
