| Leptoceras
menziesii (Hare's Ears) is a fairly common species that grows
in dry heathy areas near the north coast.
This species has a single, broad leaf that is usually held
more-or-less on the ground. The flowering stalk (scape) is erect and
unbranched and bears 1-3 shortly stalked flowers. The flowers are
quite distinctive - they have two long, narrow, club-like red petals
that are held upright, and two broader, white sepals that are held
more or less forward. |
