Types of Lecanthus

Stalked dischead

Stalked dischead is a low-growing herb that is considered a rare species in cultivation. Its green serrated leaves resemble those of the nettle, and it spreads roots as it creeps across the ground – a remarkably weedy quality. The plant's Latin name peduncularis refers to the flowers that grow on individual stalks that are also known botanically as peduncles.
