Lachnophyllum noeanum

Appearance

A biennial plant is a flowering plant that takes two years (or more) to complete its biological life cycle. In the first year, the plant undergoes primary growth, in which its leaves, stems, and roots (vegetative structures) develop. Usually, the stem of the plant remains short and the leaves are low to the ground, forming a rosette. After the first year, the plant enters a period of dormancy for the colder months. During the next spring or summer, the stem of the biennial plant elongates greatly, the plant then flowers, producing fruits and seeds before it finally dies.
