The leaves are compound pinnate, 20–30 cm long, with 5-11 (mostly 7-9) alternately arranged leaflets; each leaflet broad ovate with an acute apex; 6–13 cm long and 3–7 cm broad, with an entire margin and a thinly to densely hairy underside. In the fall, the leaves turn a mix of yellow, gold, and orange. [citation needed]
The plant grows 3-8 feet tall with an unbranched stem until reaching the inflorescence at the very top. [5] Its yellow flower heads, which bloom in late summer through early fall, are 1-2 inches wide and consist of up to 10 bright yellow ray florets that are angled downward, each bearing a notch at the end, as well as a spherical cluster of ...
The leaves are alternate, trifoliate (with three leaflets), each leaflet 15–30 mm (5 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) long and 8–15 mm (3 ⁄ 8 – 5 ⁄ 8 in) broad, green with a characteristic pale crescent in the outer half of the leaf; the petiole is 1–4 cm (1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long, with two basal stipules that are abruptly narrowed ...
The plant is 15–90 cm (6–35 in) tall. The fern-like leaves are lobed and grouped in threes, growing from the base and off the flowering stems. The flowers are 1–2 in (2.5–5.1 cm) long and have yellow petals with a red spur and red sepals. They appear in late spring (usually in May and June), nodding on stems above the leaves.
The opening to the flower is hairy. A highly variable plant, taking many forms, E. guttata is a species complex in that there is room to treat some of its forms as different species by some definitions. [9] The plant ranges from 10 to 80 centimetres (4 to 31 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) tall with disproportionately large, 2 to 4 cm long, tubular flowers. The ...
Xerochrysum bracteatum, commonly known as the golden everlasting or strawflower, is a flowering plant in the family Asteraceae native to Australia. Described by Étienne Pierre Ventenat in 1803, it was known as Helichrysum bracteatum for many years before being transferred to a new genus Xerochrysum in 1990.
The flowers are bright yellow, 7–10 cm (2.8–3.9 in) across, with the typical iris form. The fruit is a dry capsule 4–7 cm (1.6–2.8 in) long, containing numerous pale brown seeds. I. pseudacorus grows best in very wet conditions, and is common in wetlands, where it tolerates submersion, low pH , and anoxic soils.
In addition, the Japanese call the golden yellow color (variously #FFA400, #FFBF00, #F8B500) between orange and yellow yamabuki color (山吹色 yamabuki-iro), from the name of the plant. Qing Dynasty poet Chen Hao ( 陳淏 ) celebrated the beauty of Kerria japonica in his agricultural treatise the Flower Mirror [ ja ; zh ] ( 花鏡 ).
