lobed leaf การใช้
- Similar in bloom and height, it has a much more defined " cut " or lobed leaf.
- The " Bauhinia " double-lobed leaf is similar in shape to a heart or a butterfly.
- It's a real looker : a deeply lobed leaf about as big as a child's hand, purple-green on the topside, and deep burgundy on the underside.
- The two plants are not only similar in appearance, but also grow in similar habitats, although they may be told apart in the following manner : " P . palustre " has hollow, often purplish stems, pinnatifid leaf lobes and deflexed bracteoles; while " S . carvifolia " has solid, greenish stems, entire or sometimes lobed leaf-lobes and erecto-patent bracteoles.
