Detail of the acute, lanceolate leaf-points of An.lanceolata. An. lanceolata has branching stems, reaching around 8 cm in height. It has smooth, hairless, tapering leaves (2–3 cm long) with flat upper surfaces and acute-lanceolate tips. It grows relatively few, long bristly hairs between its leaves (axillary hairs).
There are 18 to 40 bracts, spreading to ascending, and shaped triangular-lanceolate to ovate. The cyme is branched 2 to 3 times, and the next branches may bifurcate. The terminal branches are 2 to 25 cm long, and have 2 to 20 flowers on spreading pedicels. The pedicels are 2 to 12 mm long, becoming erect, and are red or green, and not generally ...
Other common names include tall white aster, [17] eastern line aster, lance-leaf aster, and white-panicle aster. [18] Along with other asters that bloom in the fall, Symphyotrichum lanceolatum may be called a Michaelmas daisy. Narrow-leaf Michaelmas daisy is also one of its common names. [18]
Leaf beetles are partially recognizable by their tarsal formula, which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5 as the fourth tarsal segment is very small and hidden by the third. [2] As with many taxa, no single character defines the Chrysomelidae; instead, the family is delineated by a set of characters. [ 3 ]
Eriospermum lanceifolium bears a single, erect, slender (16 cm x 4–5 cm), lanceolate leaf, with undulate (sometimes hairy) margins. The leaf is a blue colour; it is a tough, leathery texture. Eriospermum lanceifolium has a lumpy irregular tuber, which is pinkish inside.
Leaf bases are closely spaced along the rhizome, which is generally 4 to 8 millimeters (0.2 to 0.3 in) in diameter [2] and rarely branched. [3] The rhizome bears persistent scales, which are linear to slightly lanceolate, [2] distantly toothed, [3] straight or slightly twisted, and loosely pressed against the surface of the rhizome.
Coreopsis lanceolata is a perennial plant sometimes attaining a height of over 60 cm (2 ft). The plant produces yellow flower heads singly at the top of a naked flowering stalk, each head containing both ray florets and disc florets. [6]
The leaves are generally fleshy and range from oblong or ovoid to lanceolate. Leaf shape often varies with the lower leaves more ovoid in shape, progressively becoming more lanceolate as they progress up the scape; floral bracts, if present, are lanceolate to linear. The base of the leaves typically sheathes the stem.
