Dripping beads at dripping places

Dripping is a very cool plant. It is a basilisk spitting letters on wet rocks.

[Pinellia cordata] Araceae Araceae > Pinellia

Dripping water is a plant of Araceae, whose flowers are very southern stars, and are very similar to the eldest Pinellia ternata of the same genus.

Pinellia ternata is a very common plant, which is found everywhere near the Hangzhou Botanical Garden, especially in the bamboo garden. It is also easy to see in the mountains of the West Lake.

The flowers of Pinellia ternata are already very strange! At the top of the long, creeping flower stem, the Buddha held his head high and spit out a beard from the inside, trembling with the breeze. No matter how you look at it, you are not a good kind. (see Pinellia Tweet for details)

The picture shows Pinellia ternata.

And when such strange works appear in the more mysterious mountains, their impact shapes are even more fascinating. Dripping water is so fascinating to me, he is a basilisk spitting letter on the rock face of the mountain, an extremely long letter son, stirring up my mind.

Compared with Pinellia ternata, the flame bud of dripping water drop is shorter, but the appendage (that is, Xinzi) is very long.

His name is one of the most outstanding examples of plant naming.

On the one hand, it illustrates the habitat and morphology. Dripping water grows on the rock wall, which is covered with moss, dark and humid, even in the hottest summer.

At the dripping place, the dripping beads are born, and his leaflets look like green water droplets. But when the leaves grow up, they grow two horns at the base, which is more like a shield than a drop of water.

Second, to illustrate the characteristics of plants-there are bulbs.

Bulbs are one of the ways of plant reproduction, and other plants, such as Rhodiola crassulata and lily, can sow plants directly, just like seeds.

Dripping drops also have bulbs, which grow at the top and base of the leaves. When the leaves grow up, the bulbs will fall. Once picked a small piece of dripping leaves and a few buds to go home, and it grew like this the next year.

However, he also grows into an explosive head very fast.

There are buds on a drop of water, and the shape of the bud looks like a drop of water.

Of course, in addition to illustrating the function of sex, the name dripping also achieves the meaning of artistic conception.

Such a thing as artistic conception can not be said, or I can't say it. But if you see dripping drops in the wild, you will be moved by this plant and its name.
