Description
C. corymbosum is a perennial species with alternate, simple leaves.[2] It has tomentose stems.[3]
Generally, for the Crocanthemum genus, they are erect, heraceous or suffrutescent perennials with alternate, stellate-pubescent leaves. There are two types of flowers, chasmogamous and cleistogamous. Chasmogamous flowers are on the pedicels that elongate to usually more than 1 cm long with large showy, tallow petals; there are numerous stamens and large sepals. The cleistogamous flowers are on the pedicels are usually less than 3 mm long, where the petals are absent, the stamens are few and the sepals are smaller than those of the chasmogamous flowers. The sepals are in 2 whorls, the outer are narrower than the inner. The capsule is 3-locular. [4]
Specifically, for Crocanthemum corymbosum species, the roots have tuberous thickenings, the stems grow 1.3-5 tall, stellate canescent. The basal leaves are absent; the stem leaves 10-20, elliptic to oblanceolate, growing 1.5-3 cm long, and 5-10 mm wide, stellate-canescent above, tomentose beneath. The petioles 1-3 mm long. The cleistogamous flowers in compact terminal cymes; pedicels usually less than 5 mm long; the sepals and capsules 3-4 mm long. The chasmogamous flowers on pedicels 1-2 cm, scattered in the compact, the cleistogamous infloresence, or arising from its base; petals ca. 1 cm long; sepals and ovoid capsule, 5-7 mm long, pilose. The seeds are reddish brown in color, 1-1.2 mm long.[4]
