How to identify Lygodium japonicum? Mastering these identification methods is enough
Morphological identification: Lygodium japonicum is a perennial herbaceous plant, with a height of about 1 to 5 m. The rhizome below grows horizontally and is relatively tough in texture. Leaf identification: the small short branches on the stem are distributed symmetrically on both sides, and short hairs are sparsely distributed on the leaf rachis. In summer, fringe-like spikelets grow along the lower edges of the leaves.
I. Morphological identification
Lygodium japonicum is a perennial herbaceous plant, with a height of about 1 to 5 m. The plant is relatively tall, and the rhizome below grows horizontally and is relatively tough in texture, with many small fibrous roots distributed along the sides. Its outer color is blackish brown, appearing relatively dark, and some small hairs are distributed on it.
II. Leaf identification
The leaves grow in relatively large numbers, distributed on both sides of the small short branches on the stem, and appear relatively symmetrical in distribution. Short hairs are sparsely distributed on the leaf rachis. In summer, fringe-like spikelets grow along the lower edges of the leaves. The spikelets are about 2 to 5 mm long and have small warts on the surface.
