Podophyllum delavayi

Podophyllum delavayi is a perennial herb known for its distinctive umbrella-like leaves and large, solitary flowers. The leaves are broad and deeply lobed, often showcasing a rich green hue with a glossy texture. Its flowers, emerging in spring, are remarkable for their size and deep red or maroon color, usually found drooping beneath the leafy canopy. This morphology not only adds aesthetic value but also facilitates moisture retention and shade for the plant, aiding its survival in woodland understories.
